On the one hand, Game Pass is shedding a lovingly-made dungeon crawler that Says Issues concerning the existence of recent life. However however, no less than it’s getting one of the callous Ubisoft map video games in current reminiscence (I’ll provide you with one guess). Right here’s what’s coming to Microsoft’s games-on-demand service within the coming weeks.

August 2

• Ghost Recon Wildlands (cloud, console, PC)

August 4

• Turbo Golf Racing (cloud, next-gen console, PC)

August 9

• Two Level Campus (cloud, console, PC)

August 11

• Cooking Simulator (cloud, console, PC)
• Expeditions: Rome (PC)
• Offworld Buying and selling Firm (PC)

And right here’s the total record of as of August 15:

• Boyfriend Dungeon (cloud, console, PC)
• Curse of the Lifeless Gods (cloud, console, PC)
• Library of Ruina (cloud, console, PC)
• Starmancer, by way of Game Preview (PC)
• Practice Sim World 2 (cloud, console, PC)

Boyfriend Dungeon, regardless of the messy, bad-faith controversy that outlined its launch final summer time, is definitely one of the partaking dungeon-crawlers lately. Half courting sim, you date individuals who can remodel into weapons, and use these weapons to battle the bodily manifestations of your anxieties in isometric fight. Not solely is the fight a blast, however it additionally options some sharp dialogue rife with incisive commentary concerning the good and ailing of recent courting. It’s a bummer to see it depart.

This month’s huge Game Pass addition, Ghost Recon Wildlands, has…loads much less to say. Positive, Ubisoft’s co-op shooter sports activities stable gunplay and an impressively giant, if not precisely full of life, open world. But it surely’s additionally a politically abhorrent, borderline propagandistic sport, portraying Bolivia as a narco-state overrun by cocaine-running cartels: You play as a squad of U.S. particular forces swooping in to “save” the “day.” Ubisoft did such a poor job at representing the nation that Bolivia’s inside minister despatched a proper letter to the French authorities and threatened authorized motion.

However hey, no less than Turbo Golf Racing—a sport that mainly seems to be like Rocket League grafted onto a golf course, and in addition a sport that I’m solely simply studying about immediately—seems to be cool AF.
