Game Pass Grab Bag

Quake

This week a listener suggest we go in the way back machine and try Quake by; ID studios. Quake is the grandfather of all first person shooters. It originally came out in 1996 and we discuss if it still holds up today in this new enhanced version.

Psychonauts 2

The wait is over. We discussed Psychonauts 2 by; Double Fine studios. Continue the story of Razputin a young psychonaut agent who tries to uncover the mystery behind the psychic 6. Explore diverse worlds in this 3rd person action platformer. Is it possible to love a game too much? Because we may of crossed the line.

12 Minutes (No longer on Game Pass)

This week we had a guest join us as we discussed 12 Minutes. A top down interactive story, where you play a husband stuck in a time loop. Unravel the mystery as you try to break out of the cycle.

The Ascent (No longer on Game Pass)

This week we played the new Microsoft exclusive. The Ascent by; Neon Giant studios. The Ascent is a top down twin stick shooter with light RPG elements. Play the role of a nobody who is trying to earn their freedom from the corporations. Explore an incredibly beautiful cyberpunk world solo or coop with 3 friends.

Sidequest: Back 4 Blood preview

Andrew, Keith, and Dave discuss their thought on the short Back 4 Blood open beta. Back 4 Blood is a first person shooter brought to you by Turtle Rock Studios.

Unravel

This week we played Unravel by; Coldwood Interactive. Unravel is a 2D puzzle platformer, where you play Yarny, an adorable little creature made of yarn. Travel through past memories of a family as you piece together their history. Everything about this game sounds perfect  for Keith....too bad he was on vacation and missed it.

Atomicrops (No longer on Game Pass)

This week we played Atomicrops by; Bird Bath Games. Atomicrops is a twin stick bullet hell roguelite with a twist. In this game you aren't trying to see how far you can get in a dungeon but how long you can keep your farm going. Plant strange vegetables to earn currency, and try to survive each season, which is the same advice I give myself about Keith. 

Going Under (No longer on Game Pass)

This week we played Going Under By; Aggro Crab. Going Under is a satirical roguelike dungeon crawler, where you are a new intern being forced to fight the monsters under your new office. Grab whatever you can to bash the enemies, but please only do it in this game and not actually at your work place. Unless you work with Keith.
