Xbox has been on a roll this year with plenty of exciting Game Pass offerings. While I would’ve liked a collection of the Gears of War franchise by this point, it’s hard to complain about a $40 remaster of a game people have been asking for modern hardware for a while now.

When he isn’t spending an unhealthy amount of time in Slay the Spire, he’s probably trying out yet another retro-shooter or playing Dark Souls for the 50th time.
