This is very relevant with Game Pass games - you didn't spend $60 on a game, you have many other games to play, if you are not having fun you should stop. Over the years I have gravitated towards shorter games and the ones rich in gameplay, not cutscenes. I got XSX last week and went again through probably 30 GP games. Here are a few highlights:
Aliens: Fireteam Elite - fun AF. You know the universe, you know the IP. The game doesn't try to build lore or the world. You know what to do - you are a Space Marine, go kill xenos. Still on the HDD.
Outriders - the opposite of the above. Production values are way higher, controls are TIGHT. So what, if every few minutes you get a cutscene. I'm skipping them, then I feel like I'm missing something. Also, instead of jumping into the mission with randoms when you matchmake it ports you to a hub before the mission you want to do in co-op, so you end up running to the mission marker again. Then I got kicked. Deleted.
Lost Words: Beyond the Page - now this was supposed to be a game for kids, so I decided to play with my daughter. First - there is no French dub, and she cannot read yet, so pointless. Second - kid's game decides to be artsy and tell a STORY. Compare that with Mario where you immediately jump into action. Kids don't ask why are there walking mushrooms, why Mario has a red hat, and Luigi is green, etc. They are having fun. Deleted.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction - I would have tried that, but servers are down all the time + Ubisoft login is required. Deleted.
Day by Daylight - this one gets me. I understand this is probably the charm of the game, but the controls are clunky AF. Started the tutorial, walked a bit, then I got grabbed by the murderer and supposed to break free. I mash the stick left-right and the bar fills SLOWLY. Deleted.
Phoenix Point - looked great, but I do not have the time and energy for something that looks like a carbon copy of XCOM, already played XCOM 1 and 2. I can see this becoming a grind later in the game. Deleted.
Dark Alliance - the graphics are INSANE, but I cannot find a game online, and I do not want to do it solo. Also the tank character is clunky. Deleted, maybe I should reinstall?
So yeah, discovered I do not have the time and mental bandwidth for shit games. Also discovered I love co-op PvE games.
