Rather than make yet another theme park management game where you play a disembodied hand obsessed with making money, Thrillville plonks you down firmly on the ground level. What this means is that rather than focusing on building a theme park, Thrillville is more about actually experiencing it.
"September's 2022 Games with Gold lineup includes the Xbox One titles Gods Will Fall and Double Kick Heroes, and through backwards compatibility, the Xbox 360 titles Thrillville and Portal 2. February's lineup provides over $66.96 dollars in value and up to 3000 in gamerscore."
Not a bad month. Thrillville and Portal 2 are fun and Double Kick Heroes looks like a blast.
A good game is a good game regardless of time.
Between GWG and Game Pass, where do you think publishers would rather put their newer games? MS can't force publishers to put their games on GWG.

Yeah so they should stop investing money into games that only a very small percentage of their users will play. It's month after month of lackluster titles and they need change it up, I'd rather them just do 1 worthwhile game a month than 4 that most users will never touch, because as of now they're just wasting their money and most users are seeing 0 benefit from it.
@Asplundh
I do agree. Hopefully once the OG Xbox and 360 games stop we'll see some bigger games hit the service.
Lol I have to agree with you on that. Old games 😂 I also hate when publishers and developers rely on remakes
Considering how expensive portal 2 still is in the store, and how rare the physical copies are these days, I'd say that's a good addition. It's also upgraded to 4K on the X consoles.
Don't know much about the other ones, but it looks like a better month than usual. Which probably says more about how bad it usually is.
garryxcs - Eh, semantics. I pay for a large amount of content, through Gold/Game Pass. Technically, sure, you are right; however, they are games 'given' to me under the umbrella of the platform, that I've not had to outright buy..
If they didn't offer them to me for "free," I would have had to spend *extra* money for them.
Free. 🤷♂️🤣
Thrillville: Off the Rails is a theme park manager, rollercoaster builder and mini-game collection all wound together into a fun little package. Developed by Frontier Developments and produced by LucasArts, this sequel manages to do a whole lot of things quite well, but sports a few faults that keep it from being the truly impressive title it could have been
I have four kids, ages 5, 7, 10 and 13-- they argue over who gets to use it. It has a ton of minigames and you can build race tracks, coasters, and log rides. You can get fairly deep, setting the prices for all the things to do and even changing colors/etc. on the attractions. For $50, one of the few things that we all play on the 360. If you have kids (or even if you don't), its a strong rental that you may just end up purchasing. gCM
LucasArts is making a new Thrillville game. It will be a sequel to the first and will be called Thrillville: Off The Rails.
