    Hey you know how we haven’t made a great first party game in over a decade?

    I personally don’t think anyone should pay for xbox game pass, but this is a bit of an exaggeration imho. Xbox Game Studios have published some great games in the past decade. Among them, in no particular order:

    • Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition
    • Age of Empires 4
    • Psychonauts 2
    • A couple of Forza games
    • Ori and the Blind Forest
    • Ori and the Will of the Wisps
    • Hellblade 2
    • Grounded
    • As Dusk Falls

      Careful, putting out the message that they’re amazing games could lead to the studios getting fired. Like what happened to Hi-Fi Rush.

      And that’s not even close to a full list, either. There’s also Flight Simulator, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, and Hi-Fi Rush. Probably others I’m forgetting too.

      There’s plenty to hate on MS for, and I’m not saying they haven’t squandered a lot of the talent they paid for, but to say they’ve released nothing great for over a decade is just ignorant.

      I know of Age of Empires; but the others I don’t recognize, thought were Indie 500, or an actual Indie game.
