![]() ![]() While it seems like the game is trying to alleviate the bleakness, it sometimes feels like it’s not taking itself seriously enough. The game kicks off with a particularly strong introduction that sets the stage for a quiet, atmospheric story that leans into creepy visual storytelling. After losing her adopted father, she follows a mysterious phone call to a dilapidated hotel in hopes that she can find some answers about her past. The Medium follows Marianne, a medium who is not only able to communicate with the dead, but enter their world. While The Medium delivers with stunning visuals and a genuinely unsettling universe, it’s held back by old school horror game hallmarks that only ham up an otherwise effective tone piece. At the same time, it delivers a dark and serious story that feels more in-line with recent games like Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. The slow-paced horror game will feel immediately familiar to Resident Evil diehards thanks to its fixed camera angles, investigation-heavy gameplay, and sometimes goofy dialogue. Xbox Game Pass subscribers typically get a handful of free games every month.Developed by Bloober Team, The Medium wears its influences on its tattered sleeves. Still, even with this many and more confirmed to leave Xbox Game Pass over the next year, there are already 31 day-one Xbox Game Pass titles confirmed for this year too (with many more to be confirmed), including Starfield, Scorn, A Plague: Tale Requiem, Slime Rancher 2, and several more games of all sizes. These dates may also be tentative, but it would also be a good measure for subscribers to manage their backlogs. There are likely more Xbox Game Pass titles to leave the service beyond these, but for many, this may account to several of the big titles leaving. ![]() Injustice 2 (Windows) – January 16th, 2023īy no means is this list exhaustive either.Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition – January 1st, 2023.Overcooked! 2 (Windows) – December 16th, 2022.Final Fantasy 13-2 (Windows) – December 1st, 2022.Stardew Valley (Windows) – December 1st, 2022.Final Fantasy 13 (Windows) – September 1st, 2022.Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance – July 7th, 2022.Yakuza: Like a Dragon – June 16th, 2022.Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster (Windows) – May 16th, 2022.Dragon Quest Builders 2 – May 1st, 2022.Yakuza 6: The Song of Life (Windows) – April 1st, 2022.Alien: Isolation (Windows) – March 1st, 2022.Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age (Windows) – February 16th, 2022.A Plague Tale: Innocence (Windows) – February 1st, 2022.Yakuza 5 Remastered (Windows) – January 31st, 2022. ![]()
