Analysis: A quieter month
There’s a couple of good games being added here. If anyone somehow hasn’t played Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons or Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition yet, this is the perfect chance to correct that. It’s also cool to see that with this last addition, the entire reboot trilogy of Tomb Raider games will be playable through Xbox Game Pass.
With that said, four games definitely makes this a much quieter month than usual, at least so far. It is worth bearing in mind that Star Wars: Jedi Survivor recently joined Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and at bear minimum we’ll have Ninja Theory’s Viking tale to look forward to on May 21, but hopefully we’ll see some more stuff announced soon.
As for the games that are leaving soon, I implore you: Buy and play Norco. It’s an excellent point-and-click role-playing game that captures the despair of encroaching corporatization in a Southern Gothic setting. The writing is excellent, and it really resonates as someone who grew up in the south.
