Try out Potion Craft before it leaves. An entirely new thing I've never seen anyone do. You craft recipes to move across a map, with each recipe moving you in different directions. It's actually fun as hell.
 
Farcry 6 should last me until the Avatar game is released. Ubisoft games are like my potato chips of gaming. Also playing an assasins creed vr on quest 3.

FC6 is coming on Dec 15th, one week after Avatar's release :p

Sorta knew the 1 year window was up for Chained Echoes but not sure if 2 weeks will be enough to finish it.

Was hoping River City Girls 2 was going to be up since it's a year old but alas, maybe wait a little longer for that one! Or bite in and buy it on Switch or someone else where it's still on sale.

I might try out FC6. Have been wanting to for some time but heard a lot of people say that it was worse than FC5 which I did enjoy. Very memorable OST.

GamePass these last couple of months has been pretty great.

Yep, the stretch from August to now has been extremely good.

Hoping for another big announcement or two at TGA in a few days to keep the momentum going till the end of the year.

Pretty decent and varied line-up. Steamworld Build has interested me but I'm not sure I'll get around to it for quite a while.

The end of the year is extra, extra slow. I think they actually just had 1 drop last December instead of 2. They could drop Baldur's Gate and take the rest of the year off though lol.

Maybe 1 or 2 announcements but I don't expect more GP announcements this month because usually december has only one batch.

Would suck, but understandable.

Though the last game on the list is dated Dec 15th, they don't have anything for the second half of the month*

* But I think it might have been the same way last year as well. Everybody needs some holidays I guess.

The best game pass games are the ones where you were actually planning on buying the game soon and then it shows up on the service out of nowhere like Remnant 2.

Tomb Raider looks really good on PC. 4k max settings on an OLED with these environments- god damn.
