Three Game Pass Games We're Enjoying This Weekend (Oct. 10-12)
Following Microsoft's recent news of Game Pass membership changes, including a price increase for the top tier to $thirty per month, numerous subscribers are seeking fresh methods to get the most from their subscription. If you keeping their membership or considering signing up, we present our latest recommendations.
Our selected games include a beloved JRPG, a charming indie journey, and a superb puzzler set to depart from the platform soon.
Persona 4 Golden
Among the top ways to maximize value from your subscription is by diving into a extensive, captivating RPG — and Persona 4: The Golden Edition matches that description exactly. Players take on the role of a high school student who has relocated to the quiet rural town of Inaba. During the day, your objectives include making friendships, working employment, and keeping up with studies. At night, you investigate a disturbing string of murders by venturing into unique dungeons based on your companions' deepest insecurities.
With a unforgettable group of heroes, tactical battle system, flawless art design, and a storyline full of surprises, Persona 4: The Golden Edition is regarded as a masterpiece for good reason. It also boasts a highly addictive cycle that will have you playing late into the night, repeatedly.
Sopa - Tale of the Stolen Potato
Although major titles like Ninja Gaiden 4 are a key selling point for Game Pass, the platform also showcases lesser-known indie gems. A great instance of this is Sopa - Tale of the Stolen Potato. Inspired by Spirited Away, this charming independent game is a fantasy journey steeped in South American traditions. You follow Miho, who, after helping his grandma prepare soup, is transported to a vibrant realm filled with potato-nabbing frogs and other eccentric creatures.
Sopa unfolds like an learning-focused computer title from the 90s, as Miho tackles puzzles and aids the world's residents by gathering an assortment of objects. Even if it's a little unpolished, Sopa is a sweet little experience that openly celebrates its appreciation for South America.
Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure
Cocoon is set to leave the service on Oct. 15, leaving only a few days to play it via subscription — and you definitely must. Studio Geometric Interactive designed one of the best puzzlers of recent years in the 2023 release Cocoon. Its central gameplay element focuses on transitioning among realms inside other dimensions, and frequently you'll transport those realms, in the form of vibrant spheres, alongside you.
Although it lacks explicit instructions, everything about Cocoon's puzzles is designed in a highly natural manner, though they will test you as well. The year 2023 proved a massive period for video games, so it's understandable if Cocoon was somewhat missed by the masses. Let's rectify that now.
