Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for September 2017 any good?

James writes - "So here we are with a new month about to begin, and we all know by now that means a number of new games are about to be gifted to all Xbox One and Xbox 360 players via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for September2017. The free games of last month were passable if truth be told, but can September’s offerings make it a month to remember, or one to skip over?"

Well...lets see. So FM5 is 2013's Racer of the Year, while Oxenfree was nominated and won all types of awards as an indie game in 2016. On the BC side, both games are classics.

The Games for Gold this month are pretty good

[DaNineTwo]

I have no idea why you got disagrees.

[shinrock]

Because ur in Sonyland.

[DaGreatOne]

I got disagrees for pointing the same thing out the psn games coming. I doubt some people actually enjoy games that visit this site.

[TheSaint]

I swear some people just go into topics and hit disagree on every post for no reason.

bitter Sony trolls

[EazyC]

Of course they are. The competition between PS Plus and GwG is getting good now, expect more great months on both sides

[Razzer]

Damn good month. No doubt

Ps propagandist article and post.

Keep it neutral, fanboy.

[Aenea]

... said the Xbox fanboy

[SenorFartCushion]

Profile picture, son. I'm an adult, I don't do that fanboy nonsense.

No they're not! And neither are the PS Plus games for that matter.

We already pay for expensive consoles. We pay for expensive games. We pay for expensive internet packages. These "free" games are a sorry attempt to pull the wool over our eyes to the fact that they hold the multiplayer player portion off our games hostage behind this paywall/cash grab. And we have MS to thank for bringing this model to consoles. And Sony abusing it price increases.

The games they give are games that nobody wants or are buying. With forza horizon 3 out there and forza 7 coming out soon, who in their right mind is looking to play or buy forza 5 at this point if you didn't already have the game? Not even the recent entry, forza 6, but forza 5!

As well after infamous 1 & 2 on PS3 second son is a big letdown. The game sells for $9.99 now and even still has no sales. So why act like Sony is rewarding you with some big AAA tittle with it's nothing more than a delayed lacklustre launch title.

Pros to EA tho, even tho my subscription has lapsed and I didn't renew it. EA access is worthwhile and gives you access to valuable games. Titles like mass effect titanfall dragon age battlefield dead space and their sports games and smaller tittles like plants vs combines and unravel.

[MrFisher21]

No one agrees. Ironic.

[Bronxs15]

Lol yeah. @disagrees - I stand corrected. Guess there are people who've been waiting to finally jump into forza 5.

[LandoCalrissiano]

Agree with the last part, ea access is amazing! Tons more value I'm getting than its cost. @yourreply Yeah I'm ready to jump into forza 5. The last forza they gave out was my first and loved it. Excited for 5.

[ninsigma]

Played Forza 5 ages ago. It's was fun. Haven't played the rest though

[opinionated]

No.

[SilverDemon]

Its "good" (as in acceptable) but surely can be better. Lets hope it improves

[LastCenturyRob]

Amazing line up for September, especially if you like racers!

[gangsta_red]

Oxenfree looks interesting enough, cant beat free.

Battlefield 3 I wasn't a huge fan especially after the superior Bad Company 2, the rest are whatever.

Hydro looks cool

Pretty meh month for GWG
