What's the newest game release wise you've played in the last year?

"A Short Hike" is available on GP and I highly recommend it if you haven't played it. Not a very long game but a fun little platformer with an emotionally satisfying ending.

I’m having fun playing TOEM and replaying Celeste, despite owning the latter. TOEM is great for doing the daily achievements to rack up MS Rewards points, which can then be used to redeem free months of Game Pass.

Here I was getting annoyed that people abbreviate games not everyone might know (like anyone here probably knows BG3) and I had to go google TOEM to see what the game name was that the abbreviation was for

Does anyone know some games with super easy achievements? I want some to do for the MS Rewards bonus.

^ Rewards Hunter on YouTube is a good channel to follow for keeping on top of easy achievements.

^ oof



Nice, I use that channel for the weekly challenge. Guess the archives would have more achievement stuff.

Quake II looks fun, I played about five minutes and I'll leave it installed for a time waster when waiting to pick up the kids.

How do you access Quake 64?

I don’t understand. The enhanced edition says access to Quake 64. What’s so odd about my question?

Here is what I found via a search:

Single Player > Level Select
Episode - Quake II 64

^ yup just saw a vid. Thanks Music.

Nope, you're right on this one OB, it does include a remastered copy of Quake 64.

That said, if you had downloaded the game it would be painfully obvious to find how to access Quake 64

I mean it's technically true

I was just making a joke bro lol

Highly recommend Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Huge step-up from the developer's Friday the 13th game. Great 3 v. 4 asymmetric game; much more complex than Ft13th. In many ways it's the game I was hoping Dead by Daylight was going to be (i.e. solve puzzles to escape, but the killers can actually kill you on the fly).

I thought about it but multiplayer isn’t my cup of tea. The closest I get is Diablo.

I'm interested in trying out Lies of Pi and Sea of Stars. Wonder how I'm going to work that out with BG3 and then Starfield concurrently.

So TCM is only a multi-player game? That's disappointing.

And isn't the Friday The 13th game completely shut down now? I always meant to give it a try and never got around to it even though I don't really play online multiplayer anymore.

Friday the 13th servers are up until end of 2024.

You can buy the game until end of this year.

Looks like this is the deal to get the deal pushed through the UK:
