Three Game Pass Titles We're Enjoying Over the Weekend (Oct. 10-12)
Following Microsoft's latest news of Game Pass membership updates, featuring a price increase for the Ultimate Tier to $thirty per month, numerous members are seeking fresh ways to maximize their subscription. If you holding onto their membership or thinking about joining, we present our latest recommendations.
Our selected games feature a beloved JRPG, a charming indie journey, and a brilliant puzzler scheduled to depart from the platform soon.
Persona 4: The Golden Edition
One of the best methods to maximize value from your subscription is by diving into a lengthy, engaging role-playing game — and Persona 4: The Golden Edition fits that bill perfectly. You step into the role of a high school student who has just moved to the sleepy countryside of Inaba. During the day, your objectives involve making new friends, taking on part-time jobs, and managing studies. By night, you work to solve a disturbing string of murders by exploring strange dungeons based on your friends' deepest insecurities.
With a unforgettable cast of characters, strategic battle system, flawless art design, and a storyline packed with twists, Persona 4: The Golden Edition is considered a classic for good reason. It also features a highly addictive cycle that will have you playing past bedtime, night after night.
Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato
Although major titles like Ninja Gaiden IV are a primary selling point for Game Pass, the platform also showcases lesser-known games. A great example of this is Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato. Inspired by Spirited Away, this charming indie game is a fantasy tale rooted in South American culture. Players follow Miho, who, after assisting his grandmother make soup, is pulled into a vibrant realm filled with potato-stealing frogs and other quirky animals.
Sopa plays out like an learning-focused computer title from the 90s, as Miho tackles puzzles and aids the world's inhabitants by gathering an assortment of items. Even if it's a bit unpolished, Sopa is a heartwarming small game that proudly celebrates its love for South America.
Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure
Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure is set to exit Game Pass on Oct. 15, giving you only a few days to experience it via your membership — and you absolutely should. Developer the creators crafted one of the finest puzzle games of recent years in 2023's Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure. Its core puzzle mechanic focuses on transitioning among worlds inside other worlds, and often you'll carry those realms, in the form of colorful spheres, with you.
While it doesn't have direct instructions, everything about Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure's challenges is designed in a highly intuitive manner, yet they can test you as well. 2023 was a big period for video games, so it's no surprise if Cocoon was a bit overlooked by the masses. We should rectify that now.
