Wow, we got quite the spread this month. Ps Plus and Xbox Games Pass both have at least one “E” title (Xbox has 3), where the Xbox Games with Gold has two “E 10+” a “T” and an “M”. Not to say the Games with Gold has a bad selection, I would recommend Portal 2 to most kids as it isn’t that graphic and a fantastic game. Worth noting this month Microsoft said Xbox Games with Gold will return to 2 games a month in October and we will no longer see free games on the Xbox 360. Playstation Plus has a cute adventure game, TOEM, which I’ve never played but I’ve heard good things about. Xbox Games Pass also includes adventure titles like the Early Access Disney Dreamlight Valley (I’ve seen some ads, it looks interesting), Outer Wilds (Who hasn’t heard of this one), Beacon Pines (I’ve never heard of this but it looks super cute) and Grounded (Think “Honey I Shrunk the Kids”). Overall it looks like Xbox Games Pass has the most content and also has Early Access to Slime Rancher 2?! This seems like a safe bet to check out Xbox Games Pass this month.
Talk again when it’s October 2022!
