Highlights in the PC Game Pass
Return to Monkey Island
(Genre: Point&Click Adventure – Developer: Terrible Toybox – Release: September 19, 2022 – In Game Pass from: November 8, 2022)
The greatest pirate of them all, that”s what Guybrush Threepwood has always wanted to become. In the long-awaited sequel, the story finally continues, as usual with pointed humour and familiar characters. And at its core, it”s still an old-school game.
In our review of Return to Monkey Island, Martin Deppe is happy about a charming journey through time, even though the puzzles don”t really make real profiles sweat. Nevertheless, we gave it a high score of 84.
If you”re planning to play the adventure game in Game Pass and still need some help in some places, you can consult our walkthrough – very oldschool!
Football Manager 23
(Genre: Football Management – Developer: Sports Interactive – Release: November 8, 2022 – In Game Pass from: November 8, 2022)
The ball has to roll, even in Game Pass. Just in time for the release, Football Manager 2022 is replaced in the subscription and FM 2023 trots onto the pitch with fresh legs.
The annual new edition usually doesn”t change too much, but aims to improve numerous elements and update the player squads. On Steam, the first beta players are already reacting very positively to Football Manager 23.
Vampire Survivors
(Genre: Roguelike action game – Developer: Poncle – Release: October 20, 2022 – In Game Pass from: November 10, 2022)
Hordes of monsters throw themselves at you in the 2D surprise hit Vampire Survivors, and all you can do is keep moving, let automatic attacks play out, collect gems and select a new ability every now and then as a reward. And that”s where the fascination lies!
With every skill, your attacks become stronger, more extensive, more curious. But the enemies also become more, more numerous, meaner, and appear more frequently. Soon you”ll be shredding through ridiculous masses of monsters.
Dune: Spice Wars
(Genre: Real-time strategy – Developer: Shiro Games – Release: 2023 – In Game Pass from: 17 November 2022 (Preview))
Dune: Spice Wars won”t be released until sometime in 2023, but you can play a preview version in Game Pass in advance. You will lead one of several factions known from the sci-fi universe, we House Atreides, in a fierce battle for the unique resource Spice.
You fight the war in real-time battles on a 4X map. The exact victory conditions depend on which faction you play – and a multiplayer mode is also planned. Spice Wars has been playable in Early Access on Steam since April 2022, where it has garnered around 80 percent positive user reviews.
