The Ravenlok trailer is great. Will be trying that out for sure.

I haven't even played Fuga 1 past the demo, but I liked it. Pretty brutal storyline with child soldiers constantly dying. I'll try to get to that and part 2 one of these days.

Weird West is one that I've been looking at but had not pulled the trigger on yet. Nice.

I'll start RedFall this afternoon.

I already tried it before and immediately hated it. Will give it one more shot since people seem to like it. It's odd though. Looks like it's better with mouse and KB.

I'm 40 min into Ravenlok. I'm into it. Seems like a lost GameCube game. Characters look like they're from that lost Dreamcast RPG, Evolution. I could see people who are younger not liking it. Feels very casual, fixed camera, clearly a small dev team.

The art style, voxel look, and the OST are all great so far. Seems like a very charming, small game. Supposedly its also quite short so I plan on finishing it this weekend.

That's great to hear. Ravenlok was one of the few games from the 2022 showcase that immediately caught my interest; the team behind it also worked on Echo Generation which also caught my eye so they seem to have some talent going for them.

Hopefully the game does well enough on Game Pass; don't remember hearing anything about Echo's performance so I'll assume it wasn't great/went mostly ignored. I'll most likely pick up Ravenlok on PC tho I wish more of these games got GOG releases.

Im still super early. Need to find a sword and try combat. But as long as you are expecting a casual game, it seems cool so far. Really cool art style.

I havent tried Echo yet but its on my wishlist for a sale. First time playing a game from these guys.

Weak month, but maybe I'll renew my subscription since I haven't done it since February and I'm starting to feel the itch to play Flight Simulator again. Maybe I should just buy it the next time it goes on sale.

I'm just gonna spoil it. Ravenlok: first 60 min. If you are stuck looking for the sword, you can walk towards the camera to get in a new zone.

Fuga 2 and Ravenlock are the two that I am most likely to play. I did really enjoy the first Fuga.

I wonder if I am ever going to get back into Weird West.

The timing of them adding weird west to the service is funny.
I was thinking that I had saw it on GP before and it was (the normal one joined GP in March 2022 not the definitive edition) but yeah, the timing is pretty funny.

Xbox literally supplies day 1 a sequel to a pure love letter game that is horrifically under rated and is the sort of game that comes under "art" rather than product with Fuga 2 and GAF is all

"No games, lame"


The original is on game pass for the love or christ people give it a go, especially you JRPG players.

The original was a huge financial failure, the only reason the sequel exists is because the dev team wanted to make it as part of their beloved Little Tail Bronx series.

I haven’t had the chance to plat Ravenlok yet but Echo is definitelly worth trying out. It’s a turn based RPG-lite and a relatively short one that can be completed in 6-10 hours but I loved its artstyle and atmosphere. It feels like a kids game but the humour and tone is way too weird/dark for kids to play.
