That’s right folks, in case you have forgotten, all first party Xbox One releases will be available on Xbox Game Pass on launch day, so subscribe and don’t miss out!

Rise of the Tomb Raider

I went into Tomb Raider with pretty low expectations. At X15 in Toronto, I was treated to a 20 minute demo of the first tomb in the game, and I came out of it incredibly disappointed. Rise of the Tomb Raider looked like every other action adventure puzzle game I had ever played. To me, it seemed like a poor attempt to replicate the Uncharted franchise before Uncharted 4 had a chance to come out (yes I realize Tomb Raider on 360 was similar as well). When I finished Rise of the Tomb Raider, I barely knew where the time had gone. Rise of the Tomb Raider is one of the best games I have yet played on Xbox One, and while it will draw many comparisons to Uncharted, this really is a franchise that can stand on its own.

Super Lucky’s Tale

Super Lucky’s Tale is not a AAA priced title, and for 29.99, you get a lot for what you pay. With 4 worlds to explore, and a number of levels within each world, there is plenty to do and lots to keep you going for a good 8-10 hours. In each level, you will work to obtain 4 leaf clovers by collecting all the letters in Lucky’s name, obtaining 300 coins, completing a mystery objective, and completing the main objective for the level. For the most part, it works well – although I never felt that these clovers were hard to obtain, every once in a while, the developers through a particularly challenging level at you.
