Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: How can you not be pre-loading this Xbox Game Pass joint as soon as possible?! For the longest time, I simply wasn’t sold on this game. I thought it was fine, but I didn’t have a deep well of adoration for the IP. However, Bethesda made a believer out of me with an in-depth gameplay trailer. I don’t know, though. Seems too similar to Uncharted for my tastes.
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled: Mario Kart may own most of the real estate surrounding the conversation of kart-racing games, but Crash Team Racing? Could always hold its own! Seriously, if you’ve never had the honor of playing any of these titles prior to when it releases on Xbox Game Pass? You owe it to yourself to boot this up!
Wildfrost: This is one of those games I’ve watched endlessly on YouTube but was too intimidated to try it myself. Wildfrost is an adorable deck-builder — and I love myself a quality deck-builder! But this is a ruthless game. In a way I absolutely go crazy for in games like this! When it comes to games with cards, dice, strategies, and tactics? The more I need to think and plan, the happier I am! Now, with it showing up on Xbox Game Pass? It’s time.
