I find Hi-Fi Rush overrated. Too many tutorials and a clashing colour scheme. It is like a slightly better Gravity Rush. You should not have to do a 20 + second rhythm timing mini game to flip switches or open things up.
The port of Goldeneye from the N64 version is on there now but kind of pointless because it does not have the multiplayer mode. It might have been worth playing the singleplayer if it was the more realistic remake that got cancelled for XBox 360.
.
On a side note this is another recent Game Pass addition where I figured a simple game like this must be like $30-$40 tops to own only to discover the base version is $70 while this GOTY version on Game Pass is $120. Bruh I have no idea how people stomach the cost of these basic average games on other platforms. I'm sure they go on sale but jfc man, videogames have to be easily the most overvalued form of entertainment.
The older X360 controller need an adapter and not even sure if Win11 supports it. I was on Win7 last I used that.
But these new ones are on sale $15Off, come in a variety of colors and use Bluetooth as well
Would an old Xbox 360 controller work fine?
I'll continue to buy the deluxe edition.
Played innocence and requiem back to back. 100% agree, these games are amazing. Some of the vistas in requiem are jaw dropping, to the point where I found myself spending too much time E3 slow panning lol. Played innocence on PS5 and enjoyed the haptics. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the PC version of requiem supports the feature as well. Can't wait to see what Asobo does next.
Thanks.
Requiem was amazing, better than the first one, but I don't think I would replay it on 60fps, didn't even know there was an upcoming update for that. I did play some of it on my newly built gaming PC, but ultimately, I played most of it and finished on the XSX. Again, great game
Lots of other not AAA stuff worth checking out though like Life Is Strange True Colors, Trek To Yomi, High On Life, Lost In Random, Powerwash Sim, The Ascent, Shredders Revenge to name a handful
I see a good selection of sports/racing games but what about campaign mode types? So far on there I see:
Deathloop
Guardians of The Galaxy
Yakuza Like A Dragon
Gears 5
With all of this praise for Hi-Fi Rush I will definitely have to check it out this weekend.
Going to stump for Chained Echoes which I am just wrapping up. It's a love letter to classic JRPGs but with enough modernization to keep it engaging. There's a lot of Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy and even Xenogears in there. The story is really layered, the characterization is solid and it's refreshing to play a JRPG with some swearing in the script. The turn based combat is pretty fun, though I would recommend people use the larger Overdrive bar option as the default is really unforgiving. Very solid 25-30 hour game, enough side content to dig into but doesn't overstay its welcome. Can't recommend it enough.
That said, I hope this encourages MS to continue to put money into studios that have new ideas, and allow them to test the market with games that are wildly different from what those studios have put out before. Who would've thought the folks who made The Evil Within and Ghostwire Tokyo had it in them to do something like this?
Anyway, I'm looking forward to playing it some more when I have time. Definitely a console game over PC, especially with a proper home theater setup. That soundtrack.....
Straight up all these other game companies and publisher who hype games for years with fake promises and doctored trailers just for it be more of the same shit I already played with a $90 price tag can get out of my face forever
The Campaign is apparently ~12 hours to beat and it sounds like there is multiple challenge modes and stuff that unlock at the end.
I played some more last night and I still remain supremely impressed,
I was a little worried the gameplay could get stale fairly quickly but they keep slowly layering mechanics onto your character and adding to your arsenal to constantly evolve the gameplay and flow of combat.
I've played the 2nd level and it just keeps getting better and better. It doesn't look like it's going to be a short game either.

Those Uzbekistan ass****
Yeah but what about the ps5 sales in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan bro and that God of War Ragnarok game? Microsoft is such an evil company man, here's a link to some random biased website that agrees with my way of thinking:
sony fanboys have to pay 90$ for a game rated 68, while gamepass subscribers get a great game as a nice "free" surprise the same week
Surprise Xbox Release ‘Hi-Fi Rush’ Attracts Stellar Scores, And Solid Sales
First, the game has attracted a 99% “extremely positive” review score on Steam with 400+ reviews in. Exceptional numbers, and ones that could have been influenced by some negative console war bombing, which does not appear to be happening, thankfully.
Second, the game is actually a top seller on Steam right now, despite being a high profile Xbox Game Pass release. On Steam’s revenue charts, the $30 title is currently in fifth place, actually the highest, currently released game on the list. Number one is the Steam deck (I never know why they even put this on the list), Two and four are pre-sales for Hogwarts Legacy and Dead Space. Three is CSGO which is there because of microtransctions. But there’s Hi-Fi Rush in fifth place. Very impressive.
Honestly I'm completely wowed by this game.
The presentation and graphics are maybe some of the best I've seen, the transitions between cut scenes and gameplay are completely seamless.
I thought the characters/story/tone might be a bit grating when the lead off with the "you must be wondering what I'm doing here" trope in the trailer but I'm actually loving it all. You mentioned Dreamcast and that is absolutely 100% correct, visually it's like Jet Set Radio and Sunset Overdrive had a baby.
The worlds they created are so vibrant and colorful. The game some supremely polished, it runs incredibly well and just feels like a really well made videogame.
The gameplay is sublime, I was a little worried when I started playing it because I was struggling timing my attacks with the beat (which was something I could never really overcome in both Metal: Hellslinger and Cadence of Hyrule) but by the time the end of the tutorial mission rolled around I was stringing together dashes and attacks and managing "S" ranks in the battles.
Honestly this type of gameplay is absolutely the perfect match for the hybrid rytyhm genre and I'm surprised is hasn't been successfully tackled before. Most beat-em-up/fighting games rely on time and timing between button presses to chain attacks together so this is such a natural blend of genres and it works so well here.
I also love in the inclusion of licensed music in the boss bottles. The whole game just looks ripe for replayability.
I'm only through the first couple of bosses but I'm incredibly impressed, I can't believe this thing just shadow dropped out of nowhere. They seem to be giving these teams the freedom to go off and make these small side projects and IMO this is some of the best stuff from Xbox 1P in a long long time.
I did play through the first level of Hi-Fi rush last night though. It was heavily tutorial driven, but I loved it! The art style is fantastic and it's probably got some of the cleanest looking cell shading I've seen. Running around, fighting, and making combos to the beat is such a simple concept, but Tango has nailed it so far. The platforming is kind of basic, but that doesn't really seem to be the focus of the game, and it was just the first level.
Looking forward to getting more time with it. It feels like a game that would have come out on a modern Dreamcast!
Yeah, Forza looks polished already. I'm guessing the lack of release date isn't because there is a dev problem. This is Turn 10. Maybe they're figuring out timing around Starfield and something else unannounced. Hi-Fi Rush came out of nowhere as simultaneously an announcement and a stealth drop.
I'm liking these passion project games from their dev teams. If Game Pass didn't exist it's likely they wouldn't have taken a chance on creating a title like this.
I use the Xbox app to start my downloads before I get home.
Redfall definitely has my attention and the kids are excited for Minecraft Legends.
There is no release date for FM but it looks pretty done to me. Too busy with God of War and Batman Arkham Knight right now to care. Unlike how they managed to drop a game on the spot during the event
Minecraft Legends looked looked really good too, reminds me a bit of Warcraft 3 actually where you simultaneously control a hero and build an army
Redfall continues to impress me, they showed off a lot of really neat things today and should be a blast to play with friends.
Q1/Q2 roadmap looking pretty good so far:
Jan: HiFi Rush/Goldeneye/Age of Empires II
Feb: Atomic Hearts
Mar:: Ghostwire: Tokyo
Apr: Minecraft Legends
May: Redfall
TBD: Forza and Starfield.
