Games are releasing at a ridiculous, potentially unsustainable pace. It's no longer a question of money, but rather time. Game Pass is always putting out good stuff, but there's so much to sift through that it makes the service a bit overwhelming. Well, the Dukes have arrived, and they have lists that they've checked twice. It's time to go over the naughty and nice for Xbox's prestige service in 2024. What games hit for Matty and Cog and which deserve a lump of coal in their stocking? Let's find out.

Hellblade 2 was shockingly bad imo. It's a summation of everything I don't want in video games.

I am selling my Xbox to my neighbours kid... I feel like I'm ripping em off though deep inside.

I gotta say my top game pass game this year is Inscyption! Really good and surprising game!

Matty's disdain for Hellblade 2 makes zero sense to me. The game is better or on par with the first one in every aspect, except story. Its a better version of the first one. So, if you liked the first one how aren't you at least okay with the second one. Makes no sense.

The Good: Persona 3 Reload. What a steal. The Bad: Shattered Space. Wtf happened?

psa Don't waste your hard earned dollars on Call of Duty and scummy developer studios

Hellblade is indeed awful. It if it is as Cog says 'their vision' then it's a completely ill conceived vision and a massive opportunity cost for the studio. Xbox doesn't need to micro manage studios but they can guide them as to what games are needed for the platform. A mediocre 5 hour walking sim is simply not what Xbox needed on any front

Pushback on Cogs Telltale comparison when discussion Hellblade 2: Telltale has made a name for themselves in that style of game. Ninja Theory on the contrary hasn’t, they’ve been known for good combat. Hellblade 1 was more gamey. So it’s weird for a sequel, nonetheless a game from the same studio who made Dmc to make HB2

Re Cog enjoying Senua interacting with others: My theory about Hellblade 2 is that all of the people are in her head and the giants represent past trauma (since they are seemingly allegories - her mother, Dillion’s Death, her father).

Also - I will never understand the Persona 3 love. I thought it was awful, worst dungeon ever and no story until the last 2 months, no party social links… music and art is good but other than that - one of the worst for me
