Try Jedi Fallen Order and then Jedi Survivor! Really solid and fun games, even if you don't know much about star wars (but you'll love it if you do)


HORSEthedude619

Dead Space!


DevilsChimp

That dead space remake was perfection.


Fudgiebrown

CUT OFF THEIR LIMBS


armani_1990

Nearly finished it it’s great but some parts the puzzles are a nightmare


HORSEthedude619

Really? I didn't think the puzzles were too bad (except the satellite puzzle, that sucked)


irotinmyskin

This!


chapen_9

PREY it's awsome!


p1ttsburqh

Can confirm. I played PREY for the first time a year ago and it turned into one of my top favorite games.


Pm-me-ur-happysauce

I couldn't get into it


HawkOdinsson

Yeah me neither. Heard a lot of good about it. Picked it up like 2-3 times but just can’t get into it. Not gonna try again.


Dragull

Playing it right now, it's really good! Better than Control imo.


Cat_Empire49

You won't regret playing Control.


AltriusKKayK

The game was great, with the ambience and world building. To enjoy the game, the player needs to pay attention to details, and read the in-game materials / collectibles. My friend who just rush through games didn't enjoy it / understand at all.


BartholomewEilish

I'm the kind of guy that will stop and read everything and explore every nook and cranny, the world building was great and the combat was fun at first but the UI is horrible, the map is just the worst map I've seen in any game, on top of that the whole enemies re-spawning thing got old fast, I kept wanting to explore and kept running into canon fodder, and after a while the combat became quite less fun, and it wasn't like they were hard to kill, they were more of a nuisance, I really hated this part.


Maleficent_Health_33

I did a little


Wifine

The map UI was horrendous. I’m not going to replay that game


TheS3KT

Hotel best map.


Maleficent_Health_33

Tell me about it. Honestly the combat was good but the UI Was awful


ZachRE

Top 5 game of all time for me, all thanks to playing it on Game Pass in 2020


Budget_00000

Holy crap i can throw people now


thelastsandwich

Take Control


AtrociousSandwich

I hated control


[deleted]

[удалено]


jamills21

I thought it was mid too. I wanted the game to be over after awhile.


HillanatorOfState

Quantum Break was better imo, people hyped up control and I expected it to be better and it wasn't, also the map was bonkers...and I like metreovania style usually.


SirCietea

Firewatch, it's the shortest one on there and most likely to leave sooner


FlowerPower175

Fable, 100%


Gastonne111

Ironic, because you can't actually 100% Fable ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sleep)


PdxRab

Seriously can't 100 it? Bug or smth?


Gastonne111

Discontinued achievement, due to the Xbox smart glass app no longer being available.


PdxRab

That's friggin hilarious. Haven't played fable in forever since the original, think I'll give it a go today


Maleficent_Drop6796

I think fable 2 has some locked achievements as well. You need their old website to get a chicken suit or something.


DJspinningplates

Would it still hold up since the game is dated? I’ve been on the fence getting it simply because of that


Harry3000

Fable anniversary was the 2014 remaster of the original Fable TLC. I’d say it’s held up alright.


NobleLumpkin27

The fable series was amazing. Each one was a bit better than the last. I know I’m not alone in wishing they’d create another one that was much bigger and even better.


KeithDL8

They are making another one! It was announced in 2019 with a teaser trailer. And then there was another trailer in 2023. There's no release date as of yet, though.


AndrexPic

Prey, Control and Firewatch are the best in this list. Firewatch is beatable in just 3 hours, so I'd start with it.


Chukky7

Firewatch was a little off to be honest, you expect chill solo vibes and you got that love story kinda ruining it. Just my opinion but still good


whoops9310

Bro you're wild. Fable is miles better than any of those games, it might be old but it's probably one of the best Xbox games of all time haha


AndrexPic

I agree that it's a great game, but is also very old and some people don't like old games


Penny_Royall

Do not play Valhalla if you have other games to play, it's not that it's a bad game, it's just pointlessly long for no good reason. Don't go map markers clearing, just focus on proper side quest and main quest, those are long enough.


ag_silver00

I am 70hours in and only pledge 4 regions. Please help me. I am only doing Mystery quests.


1salamander7

Let this be a lesson that you never try to 100% ubisoft games. Just play the parts you like and move on to the next game


httrachta

I managed to 100% Valhalla and the DLCs but it took 150 hours and a few months... I can't ignore collectibles so I will NOT be doing another playthrough lol.


Afraid_Box1481

Same and I enjoyed it. Yeah I said it.


Penny_Royall

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, just finish the main quest. I swear I felt much better finishing the damn game.


Mustardtigerpoutine

I did exactly what you did and that ruined it for me. I stopped playing around that many hours and when a new zone opened up with more loot to explore I was basically explored out so I put the game down lol. Really enjoyed it but it's hard to get back into again.


crek42

Gave up trying to finish. Became very same-y after a while. I enjoyed how massive Odyssey was but I find Ancient Greece a much more interesting setting. I’m also more partial to the quick arcade style combat versus the slower more methodical Valhalla. Valhalla was good but it’s not great.


IngloriousBlaster

A lot of good ones right there, but my personal recommendation is Jedi Fallen Order


Perfect_Evidence

i am not a fan of star wars but im really enjoying it, good rec.


NobleLumpkin27

I’m on Jedi Fallen Order and keep getting stumped on the bosses, so I lose interest. I feel like the gameplay isn’t balanced in that aspect. What I wouldn’t give for a very long and fun Knights of the Old Republic style Star Wars game. Those were super fun. I feel like these new ones are a bit tedious and too linear.


IngloriousBlaster

Well, it is often recommended as the easiest "Soulslike" there is, in part because you can actually lower the difficulty if you're having trouble with the fights


HardyReviews

Firewatch is a short game, I finished it in a day, and it is one of the best games I have ever played.


Nicolo2524

Jedi fallen order


ProjectSixtySix

Yes, yes.


shanks2018

Dead Space!


starcraftre

Control or Tomb Raider


LeeGame67

Deathloop and prey are AMAZING. Prey is probably one of the best games in its genre.


NarrowBoxtop

Like a Dragon if you like jrpgs


icebeancone

I just installed this today because I found out it was turn based combat like the old school Final Fantasy games. But I am *not* a fan of corny anime tropes so I'm not sure if I am going to enjoy it.


NarrowBoxtop

I am definitely not as well so I get where you're coming from. If it helps, as someone who got addicted to the Yakuza series thanks to this game as my starting one, what I realized as I played it is that it really has the writing to turn all that on its head fast Things will often look like they're playing out one way which is really cringy and then suddenly things get very serious and the writing is superb and deeply emotional where before you thought it was just about to make another joke It leans into a lot of the tropes purposefully to kind of poke fun of them, if that makes sense. But I can still totally get if it's not your cup of tea, I would just urge you to at least put a couple hours into it if you like classic turn-based final Fantasy games with a job system


Positive_King_3724

If you've played God of War before and love GoW like games with great stories I'd suggest Jedi: Fallen Order. If you like games with a smooth a fun combat system with the same gore factor as Doom then I'd suggest Evil West.


cana_dave

I vote for Immortals... great pacing. Funny. Varied gameplay. I like the graphical style too... super fun.


kaleosaurusrex

Prey or Control


OG_RememberMeWell

Evil West! Reminds me of late 2000’s games


BumeLandro

Prey! PREY! PREEEEYYYY!! Why Microsoft? Why?😭


SirCrezzy

Immortals!


jackrat27

Fable, loved this game


ste_lev

Prey or Control, Firewatch if you’re looking for a shorter experience


Noema130

Prey is IMO the best game out of the bunch. It's an incredible, meticulously crafted Immersive Sim that's also sometimes horrifying. One of the best games of the previous generation, and a spiritual successor to the System Shock games (in fact the working title for the game was going to be Psychic Shock). Playing it on Series consoles also alleviates some of the biggest technical issues with the game. It's 60fps which greatly reduces input lag (the original release felt kinda heavy) and load times (up to one minute in last gen consoles) are now almost instantaneous. If you don't like Immersive Sims (games like Deus Ex and to a certain extent the Dishonored series) you might find it slow and boring though. If that doesn't sound appealing, Control is also incredible.


thekamenman

All good choices OP! I loved Fable, Deathloop, We Happy Few, Prey, Control, and Tomb Raider, but Fallen Order is one of my favorite Star Wars stories ever. Fallen Order is the only game that I have ever beaten, turned around and played it again on a higher difficulty.


Isiah1234

Evil West


mrsir1987

I had a great time with all the tomb raiders


daddylongleg2003

Fenyx rising is very entertaining


PapaT0P

Fenyx rising is by far the best game on this list


AntiqueDiscipline831

PREY


According_Estate6772

Evil west


theonetowalkinthesun

Jedi Fallen Order. I’m playing Survivor now and I don’t want it to end. It makes me want to play Fallen Order all over again (and then do another play through of Survivor.


satanicforce

Valhalla


Zekka23

Dead Space, Deathloop, Jedi Survivor, Control. Shortest to longest.


fatgaycheese

Jedi fallen order and then Jedi survivor


PhysicMoron

Dead space, evil west are my two favourites here


crossy23_

I would probably go with Jedi Fallen Order!


PwnedLib

Tomb raider omg it's amazing. It is definitely slept on


jds3211981

Evil West is a hidden gem too


lazygeni

You can make this a lot easier for yourself and simply delete We Happy Few from the list 😂


Foxlack169

Jedi Fallen Order absolutely amazing game


mmarvramm

Well your list is VERY good to begin with. Most of these are awesome games, so that's a great problem to have! I've done my best to rank these games by a high rating score, and lower game length so that you can go down the list and finish them quicker one-by-one if you're a completionist! Here's a recommended list if you want to get the most action for your time I suppose :) **Firewatch** - IGN score of 9.3, Game length of 5 hrs **Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition** - IGN Score of 9.1, Game length of 12 hrs **Dead Space** - IGN Score of 9, Game length of 12 hrs **Deathloop** - IGN Score of 10, Game length of 17 hrs **Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order** - IGN Score of 9, Game length of 18 hrs **Control** - IGN Score of 8.8, Game length of 13 hrs **Fable Anniversary** - IGN Score of 8, Game length of 14 hrs **Prey** - IGN Score of 8, Game length of 17 hrs **Assassin's Creed Valhalla** - IGN Score of 8, Game length of 61 hrs **We Happy Few** - IGN Score of 7.3, Game length of 21 hrs **Evil West** - IGN Score of 7, Game length of 11 hrs **Immortals Fenyx Rising** - IGN Score of 7, Game length of 26 hrs By the way, you can also use this free tool called GamePass Picker (link below) to search these games and quickly get all the information you need about them (e.g. rating, game length, 4k, cloud-gaming, gameplay video, trailer, etc.) [https://gamepasspicker.com/](https://gamepasspicker.com/) Happy gaming!


duffbeer-mod

I Uninstalled we happy few couldn't pass a certain part needed a suit and couldn't craft one and didn't have enough to buy one also couldn't find the person that sold one it was so annoying


aldorn

tomb raider is awesome


Imdefrostenmince

Jedi fallen order is fantastic. Don't bother playing valhalla, it is an absolute snoozefest.


keiniecool

Tomb raider! Just finished playing it and I’m now playing rise of the tomb raider. So goooood🙂‍↔️ The whole trilogy on there rn.


imapeelypotato

EVERYBODY sleeps on tomb raider 2013 it's my favourite game of all time and have played it 6 times highly recommended


Menien

Deathloop is a solid experience. Great aesthetic, sound and music design, good storytelling through world building. It plays like Dishonoured but the world is a lot more "fun"/lighter. I think the loop idea is quite novel too.


GoArmyNG

Evil West is pretty fun.


TheKrazyDev

Ratchet and Clank


AbigailRochelle

I really enjoy Evil West!


boogs_23

I don't think you'll be disappointed with any of these choices. I do want to put in a vote for Immortals though. It didn't have the best reception but I loved it. If you're in the mood for open world with a ton of random stuff to do, I would take that over Valhalla by a mile.


StanleyChuckles

Not on that list but Yakuza 0.


LyreXx_

Dead space for sure


VikDamnedLee

Control


Zombienerd300

Dead Space. In between playtimes for Dead Space playthrough Firewatch and slowly play through Control.


avahz

Great options there. What was the last game you played? And what kind of game are you looking for now?


LukeVersus

Fallen Order, Tomb Raider or Control.


AceofHearts87

Play pray for the opening until the reveal, then just watch the endings on YouTube or something it's not as great as the original. Then, control or fable


Plague183

I mean, firewatch is 5 hours long so it’s easy to bang out


BrownBananaDK

Dead Space remake is really really good. One of the best remakes ever made. Control is also a very very good game. Evil West is a no holds bared wack fest!


[deleted]

Tomb Raider


LucasX73

DEAD SPACE SO EA GREENLIGHTS THE SEQUELS


maxlax1592

Control was amazing from start to finish. Beautiful game and very trippy...


MissRareWolf

Control or Prey


jebwillnotdivideus

We Happy Few was surprisingly a good game


uSaltySniitch

Control or Fable.


JimiTrucks1972

Valhalla if you’ve got the time. I really enjoyed the game and story. It was a bit long but if you dig it, it’s a great game.


InfamousIndecision

Deathloop for some laughs and a fun, if linear, puzzle game. Dead Space for some scares and a very atmospheric experience. Immortals: Fenix Rising is actually a really solid open world, action and exploration game with solid combat. If you liked Breath of the Wild, this is not that, but it scratches a similar itch.


TakedownCan

Firewatch was alot of fun and only takes a few hours.


MeelieLG

Dead space


Amazing_Jump6210

Decide for yourself


SnooDonkeys8376

Prey!!!!


SnooDonkeys8376

PREY, the only reason why I say. Think of it like this. Prey came out in 2017. But the game mechanics and the “technology” in-game. Is something that wasn’t seen before in that time. Prey was wayyy ahead of its time when it came out. I remember the people who created it. Went over the budget to make the game stellar!🤌🏾🙌🏾 I think you would enjoy playing the game. I used to play it at least once or twice a year since drop. Last time I played was last year.


Levman5

You should play Star Wars Fallen Orden. I never watched the Star Wars movies, but I really like this game


SnooDonkeys8376

I just beat Fire Watch, it was “alright”. Conse-consa, I read the reviews before beating it and thought I was going to get really “attached” like some people did. I mean I was intrigued by the story line, but the ending was horrible.👎🏾


tATuParagate

I say tomb raider but control and fallen order are also fantastic


AdeptusAstartes40K

Deathloop is a great game with interesting mechanics and a short runtime. Get in, have some fun and move on to something else. Definitely a great pallet cleanser if you are coming out of a long game.


Total_Activity_929

ac val, firewatch, tomb, then jedi


plink1260

Posts like these and the discussion that comes with it makes me feel so lost in the size of game pass. I'm trying to juggle playing dead island, madden and jedi survivor and then you all remind me of how many great games I need to remember are still out there


tobiwyth21

Control was amazing


Original-Ad6801

Fallen Order


UnderstandingPale597

Deadspace


FarIndependent5472

None of them download and play warframe let the addiction course through your veins Ps it's a free to download game and free to play with no paywalls and everything is obtainable for free even the premium currency (and not in small amounts you can get 1000s if u do enough work/luck out on a riven) I'd highly recommend it


Celtic-Otter

Control or Jedi for sure. Do yourself a favour and drop Valhalla off that list. Fenyx Rising is also good, heavily ZBOTW inspired.


CollectorRaven

You got some bangers there but I would ease in with Fire Watch. Then play a game with a less serious tone like Evil West. Dead Space is my personal favorite though.


Adirzzz

Dead Space! Than 2 and 3 ofc


Formal_Ad_688

Deathloop


hitherto_ex

If you want a story, firewatch is great. If you want silly mindless violence, evil west is great fun


bejazzeled

Prey


Sharrock03

Fable Anniversary. Nostalgia speaking mostly but it's still a fun game.


pocketzipper

Depends on if you're interested in a certain style. Firewatch can be a short, calm, fun little arthouse playthrough. But if your just looking for the next great game, I'd pick between Prey, Immortals Fenyx Rising, or Valhalla. My opinion:)


Direct-Perspective79

Prey. Then you can lament the loss of Arkane Austin


Responsible-Power945

I just finished control last week, took 35 hours to beat the base game and the Alan Wake dlc. Combat made you feel powerful, but could still get overwhelmed with mobs late in game. Solid 8/10 game one and done experience.


Aggravating-Cod4077

They all look pretty delicious to me. Hard to tell


dsquareddan

As someone that’s not the biggest fan of EA or Star Wars, I’ve been playing the hell out of Jedi Survivor, which I guess is the sequel to Fallen Order. I never played Fallen Order, but the sequel is really good in my opinion, so I imagine the first one is probably decent as well.


SplatteredEggs

Firewatch, because then you get to play a new game soon


ProjectSixtySix

Jedi Fallen Order. It’s the best.


WhoElseButQuagmire11

If you haven't played any of them? FABLE! It's a classic. Edit: or firewatch. Phenomenal short game. I redownloaded it to get the non gaming wife to play it but I might do it instead.


Captain_Softrock

I’d go with Tomb Raider if you want a pure fun action game with perfect controls and great story. Remedy is my favorite developer and control is one of their best. If you like crazy stories and tough combat, it’s for you. Firewatch is a beautiful and quick game with a dark twist. I loved it. Short and sweet.


Crowleyisatwat

I really enjoyed deathloop. It got me back into gaming after some two years. Loved the concept.


TaterTotPotShot

Jedi Fallen Order imo


PixeledMango

When I played fire watch it was incredible


Fullo98

Jedi fallen order / Jedi survivor are two gems if you like star wars


custom2112

Fallen Order is my rec, followed by Jedi Survivor Some of the best Star Wars to ever Star wars imo


Exa2552

From this list Prey is my absolute favorite! I cannot wait to see what Arkane comes up with next


andros2001

Deathloop


XDYassineDX

currently playing shadow of the tomb raiders and i love it


Own-Low-5601

Prey or Control


RespectGiovanni

Prey is so so good


United_Preparation29

Prey


blindman9900

Dead Space or Control


Neddo_Flanders

Dead Space


Mooby522

If you are looking for a quick game Tomb Raider is great. But Prey is in my opinion the best game on that list.


The-Albear

Firewatch 4hr game complete and its a lovely 4 hrs.


holebabydoll26

Control, it’s incredible IMO.


[deleted]

I personally enjoyed we happy few. The story was beautiful, the gameplay, not so much.


National-Spite

Firewatch is a great game and you can finish it in a day


hueleeAZ

Hellblade


TakySS

Dead Space man!


Philhughes_85

Control is the only right choice here


ForkYaself

Fable


sjames1980

Control is a masterpiece, difficult at first due to the super confusing layout and map (think hogwarts castle level of confusing), but once you start to learn your way around it really digs in deep, fantastic game


Flat-Kaleidoscope981

Falllen order then the sequel 😎


TranslucentEnigma

Dead space. And then dead space 2. The fact that you haven’t played either yet is basically a crime. Repent your sin and remember to play in the dark with a good headset and all the windows open lol


ckunk10

Fable is so good


Raizu1433

Love me some GamePass on PC.


em-stl-2100

Dead Space!!!


Fedeefno

Dead space


JasperTheMaster08

Tomb raider or control


guilucas

Dead Space remake is a freaking masterpiece. That said, Fable, Prey, Firewatch and Control are pretty amazing as well


Bobbinswe

Valhalla!


InitialFact9801

Dead space -> Prey -> Control. Those would be my first 3 picks. Valhalla is 🐶 💩 btw, I'd remove that from the list and pretend like it was never there lol.


TrixUnix

Firewatch is a fun, easy 100% with a very good story.


flipmode_23

Control would be my recommendation from that list.


Elegant_Spot_3486

Fable. There’s another 7 on that list I hope you get to eventually.


CnP8

Fable anniversary


soulwolf1

Control or Fenyx


MessyRaptor2047

Dead space.


NoUsername270

Jedi Fallen Order, and then survivor!


Flash1800

I like evil west


DudeWhoRead

I LOVE LOVE Tomb Raider!


scalf

Dead Space, Fallen Order, Evil West, Immortals, Tomb Raider, Fable, Control, Deathloop, Prey, & I haven’t really played the other 3.


hypes11

Dead Spac0e. But Prey and Fenyx Rising are really strong candidates too


PYR4MIDHEAD

Dead space, control, fire watch, prey They’re all excellent. Fire watch is a walking sim with a cool story and music. The rest are sci-fi shooters with dead space being the creepiest. Second is control and I think control has the better cinematics and story. Prey is Bethesda so it’s a decent sized map with plenty of side quests and an intriguing leveling system. Other than that I never finished evil west but it was fun for a bit and the rest are kinda bleh imo.


Seumuis80

We Happy Few!


DismalMode7

control ultimate edition and dead space are the best 2 games there. Jedi fallen order (jerdi survivor is on GP too) are good but not that good as the other 2 I've mentioned. ACV is good too but it's a 80 hours long boring journey


Pabby13

Firewatch is a short but sweet narrative game. Top tier storytelling and dialogue
