Meanwhile, more Walking Dead games arrived today
Avast your behind, hen, for a new month means a new lineup of PC Game Pass games. Microsoft today laid out the comings and goings for the first half of November, headlined byReturn To Monkey Island. The revival of the revered point ‘n’ click adventure game series will hit Game Pass next week, and until then you can tide yourself over with modernistic adventures from more of Telltale’s The Walking Dead. Read on for the rest of the games coming in the next fortnight, including some on their launch day, and those sadly leaving too.
Alice Bee’sReturn To Monkey Island reviewat launch last month called it “a very good modern point and click game that makes a perfect new entry to a beloved old series.” Looking forward to that one myself.
You’ll also find plenty of adventurous tone (distinct from adventure the genre). Somerville is a new explore-o-adventure amidst alien invasion from a team including the former CEO of Playdead, and does indeed look a fair bit likeLimboandInside. And Ghost Song is a 2D metroidvania with a sketchy hand-drawn art style, exploring the horrors of an alien moon.
Alas, games coming also means going. As happens regularly, a handful of games will leave Game Pass soon. If you’re mid-playthrough, get a fart on.
Many of the dates for these comings and goings were already known but hey, here they are in handy list form.Microsoft’s blog posthas the full listings for Xbox consoles and Cloud too. They’re mostly the same as PC, except Xbox will get the excellentVampire Survivorson November 10th (it’s been on PC Game Pass for ages) and those platforms already have those two Walking Dead series.
