July’s leavers include Spelunky 2
Here’s July’s list of Game Pass additions:
Should you want something new to play right now, console friends can jump back into San Andreas again. Meanwhile, PC folks could check out the seventh mainline Sword And Fairy game, which is the action-RPG series that plays on Chinese mythology and seemingly has a blast doing so. I’m somewhat interested in the similarities between Sword And Fairy andFinal Fantasy, in the sense that they both began as beloved turn-based series before evolving into some of the most bonkers-looking slash ‘em ups around. How’d that happen, huh?
July’s big addition is undoubtedly Capcom’s Exoprimal, a live-service game that ponders important human problems like: who wins between 3 chonky mechs or 3000 raptors? Liam recently chatted with the team about theendless dinosaur hordesand why it bears no relation toDino Crisis. I’m quite excited regardless.
The other biggie this month is the multiplayer shooter Insurgency: Sandstorm. Matt Cox’sreviewwas slightly mixed: “I’ve only got so much patience for games where the victor is nearly always whoever doesn’t get spotted first.” Though fans of realism and good noises should find a lot to appreciate.
What else? Adventure game threequelMcPixel 3casts you as a wannabe save-the-day guy who runs about averting an endless series of disasters in increasingly silly ways. AndTechtonica’searly access release has both first-person factory-building and bioluminescent alien caves, so surely it’s worth a try.
Newcomers mean new leavers, as always. Here’s what’s leaving the service on July 15th:
A sad day for babysitters who can no longer turn on the new Paw Patrol’s game and unwind. Although, Game Passengers can look forward to a bunch of updates in already-out games, too, includingForza Horizon 5’s Barbie crossover packand the pair ofnew modes in Hi-Fi Rush, both of which are available now.
