3 Month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Xbox One / PC
GamePass is well worth the money, plus you can often find it on sale for 30% off
Microsoft has set up an outstanding game service. It's a perfect compliment to a gaming PC or an Xbox console.
The lineup of games changes monthly, with at least a few recent AAA titles available plus a large pile of smaller games and a lot of old games (like Fallout 3, for example). The addition of EA Games to the catalog also greatly expanded what GamePass can offer, plus Microsoft Game Studios titles are available on launch day.
I have rarely bought a game before playing it since signing up for GP in 2020; I have far more than I could possibly ever play for the cost of 4 brand new games a year. If I really like a game, I'll buy it from the Store or look for a copy in GameStop. Playing before I buy a game allows me to really decide if I want to put my money into a title. I'm often happy just playing it for a few hours and then uninstalling it.
You can get caught halfway through a game when it leaves GamePass; it's like a streaming service in that respect. However, Gamepass users do get a discount in the Store if you play something and miss it once it's gone. Honestly, I cannot think of a downside to GamePass. It's an incredible service.
Finally, watch for sales on the 3-month subscription cards to really save money. The Ultimate (PC + Console) cards are on sale at least 2-3x each year for about 30% off. Add those cards to your Microsoft account and extend your subscription at a serious discount.
Back 4 Blood PC (EU)
Great successor to Left 4 Dead
On hearing that Back 4 Bloods developer roster included previous members of the Left 4 Dead development team, there was instant hype that a new L4D format zombie game was coming to the market.

When first starting up, the card system is a little disconcerting as it was initially difficult to grasp how to effectively plan out your runs, this quickly changes after a few runs as you start to realise where your weaknesses are and then build decks to counter these issues.

Difficultly levels can be best described as:

Recruit - A nice walk in the park with guns

Veteran - Oh damn there's zombies in the park.

Nightmare - Why is the park on fire? *approaching rumbling of a battalion of special zombies in the distance*

Overall, this game gives all the nostalgic feel of the left 4 dead franchise but with the added bonus of flexibility, each card deck can provide a different type of playthrough which gives the game hours of replayability.

TL;DR: It's like left for dead, but better!
Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster PC
Try it for yourself and make your own opinion ;)
Personally, these two games are my absolute favorites of the entire FF series. They were part of my childhood, and even now I still love them and replay them quite often.

Many people agree that X is a great game; however, there's people who say that X-2 isn't great, that it's too "girly", etc. etc. and honestly, I disagree. Firstly, "girly" isn't a bad thing, I think the reason why people say that is because the main character is a girl, and the 2 lead supporting characters are also girls. Part of the combat system is "dressphere shift" where your three playable characters can shift between their outfits in order to use the different abilities and powers. "Fashion? In combat?" Yes! Think about it, you're changing from different outfits so that they can fit according to your offense or defense. I don't see why this should be a bad thing. Plus, the designs of each outfit are really, really cool. They can be feminine, but again, that just isn't a bad thing. The three women are still powerful, tough, and the battle system is super fun to use. You don't even HAVE to use the dressspheres except for the tutorial, although I would recommend using them, especially if you like to 100% your games. But I'm sure you could beat the game without them. I think. I actually don't know entirely because I've never not used them, but I don't see why you couldn't.

Basically, if you see someone say that FFX-2 is bad because it's girly, just assume it's because they're used to playing video games geared towards the "manly" audience of guys who were taught growing up that being considered feminine or girly is "Gay" and a bad thing. Play the games for yourself, decide your OWN perspective. It might just change your life, or you might get bored from the games and move on. Either way, thanks for reading.
