Game Pass Grab Bag

Grounded 1.0

This week Andrew and Liz went back to check out Grounded by; Obsidian studios. Grounded just recently released there 1.0 patch which means it is a completed game. There is now a flushed out story and the backyard is fully developed. We check out to see if the 1.0 patch really made much of a difference or is this game just the same old same old.

Soccer Story

This week Keith pick Soccer Story by: Panic Barn. Soccer Story is a soccer RPG where you play one of twins who is called to bring soccer back to your world. Soccer was banned from the evil Soccer Inc. because it has caused a great calamity one year ago, but you know soccer is for everyone to enjoy. With your trusty magical soccer ball you slide, kick, and dodge your way to bringing soccer back. Yeah the story is kind of nonsensical, Thanks Keith.

Deathloop

This week we decided to check out Deathloop by; Arkane Studios. Deathloop is a first person shooter where you play Colt a man who is stuck in a 24 hour time loop. He doesn't remember a thing except that he needs to break this loop by killing specific targets. It is of course not that easy because there is another assassin trying to stop him from breaking this loop. Defend the loop as Julianna or try to break the loop with Colt.

Pentiment

This week we decided to see what the hype was all about with Pentiment by; Obsidian Studios. Pentiment is a point and click adventure game set in the medieval era. Play as Andreas a young artist who gets caught up in a murder mystery that is shrouded by a mysterious thread puller. Explore the lives of the peasants and the people of the local abbey and uncover what possible motives they may have. You also know this game must have a good story if even Keith likes it.

Fable 2

This week we played the listener requested Fable 2 by; Lionhead Studios.  Fable 2 is a third person action RPG where you take control of a nameless hero who is trying to prevent the destruction of Albion. Play the way you want with melee, range and magic. Decide if you want to walk the path of good or evil....or play like Andrew which apparently is just morally grey. Explore the land of Albion to become more powerful, or be like Andrew and waste a gross amount of time chopping wood.

Gunfire Reborn (No longer on Game Pass)

This week we played the roguelike Gunfire Reborn by; Duoyi Network. Gunfire Reborn is a first person shooter roguelike where you play one of six unique characters each with their own abilities. Complete challenges to unlock new skills and perks as you fight your way through the dungeon. Play solo or team up with 3 other friends for some good ol' fashion chaos.

Plague Tale: Requiem

This week we played the listener requested Plague Tale: Requiem by; Asobo Studios. Requiem is a sequel to Plague Tale: Innocence. The game take place right where the last game left off, following Hugo and Amecia as they they try to uncover the mystery behind the plague. Take control of Amecia as you try to stealth your way past enemies or pick them off one by one with your trusty sling.

Scorn

This week we played the listener requested Scorn by; Ebb Software. Scorn is a first person horror survival game. Explore an alien planet as you try to navigate a world that fuses both mechanical and biological together. I am not sure what else to really say about this game except it's gross and sounds grosser. Also there is a lot of sexual imagery so kids stay away from this game and this episode.
