Suggest me a Xbox One game

[toastyhamster]

So, made redundant two weeks ago and while I wait for interviews to be scheduled I've done about everything I want to do round the house etc and I'm seriously getting very bored. So, weather a bit crap, looking for console games to keep me amused.

Games I played and liked:
GTA
RDR2
Assetto Corsa (might get Grid when it comes out so that's driving games covered)
Elite Dangerous (on PC)
Firewatch
Mutant Year Zero - Road to Eden
Far Cry 5 and New Dawn

Also played Skyrim - Elder Scrolls V but didn't think much to it.

Games the kids have got already:
Minecraft
Fortnite
Fifa 20

Want "Last of Us" but looks like PS4 exclusive

Looking at Cuphead - any good?
Currently playing What's left of Edith Finch - loving it, anything else I should be looking at? Don't really fancy any Assassins Creed or Call of Duty style as I'm generally crap at combat and prefer something with a bit more depth. Also looking at No Mans Sky but the reviews put me off.

Some good ideas, didn't realise Game pass was so cheap so I'll have a look at that.

Played through Finch in one go, brilliant.

I'll lose the xbox to Fifa shortly when the kids get in from school so I'll have a go tomorrow.

Tried Fallout 4 about a year ago, did not like. Combat was ridiculously hard for me, got to a point about a quarter of the way in where I just couldn't progress.

Think game pass is the way to go, eldest off sick today so by the time I got to the xbox in early afternoon it had been taken, so I'll have to wait til Monday now.

Game Pass Ultimate £1 for a month, sorted.

Human Fall Flat - people play this for fun? Put it down after 20 minutes getting frustrated with the controls.

Life is Strange - very good so far only an hour or so in.

Did you use VATS? Where you 'Stop' time and target using that and action points. As a raw FPS it can be extremely fast paced without using that, you need to use both the RPG skills & FPS bits to really make it work well together.

Yeh, didn't really gel for me tho.

Finished Life is Strange yesterday. bloody hell, how sad can one game be? Currently started Life is Strange 2, I'll lose the xbox to half term for two weeks on Friday so am making the most of it.

Kids have already had a major bust up about Ashes Cricket, game pass - part blessing, part curse.
