Neil writes - You may not want to believe it, but we're already in the middle of November, the Holiday season is fast approaching and the year will soon be out. Before that though we've got plenty of gaming opportunities to get involved in - one of which is spending some time with Race The Sun now that it is free on Xbox One thanks to the Xbox Games With Gold scheme.
Limited Run Games has announced that a physical version of Race the Sun for PS Vita and PS4 will be available for pre-order on November 23, 2018 at 10am ET via Limited Run Games.

But as November 2018 rolls around, that is exactly what the team at Xbox HQ are giving us with the free Xbox One and Xbox 360 Games With Gold titles. But are they actually any good? Will you want to play them? By golly, yes!"
as EA Access Member.... no :/
Battlefield 1 is old and was in a 5$ Sale last Week...
As some one who is not an EA Access member .... yes :)
I look forwards to playing BattleField 1 for free with season pass included since EA gave out for free during October.
Dante's Inferno is an underrated game. I loved it last gen.
Assassins Creed is a classic and one that came out early last gen and showcased the transition to HD.
I've never played Race The Sun so looking forward to see what that game offers.
Battlefield 1, huge yes especially if the DLC is still free. Race the Sun, no dull endless runner cell phone trash (picked it up on PS+ played once and deleted), Assassin's Creed, possibly best Assassin but I haven't played it since it came out so not sure how it holds up. Dante's Inferno, massive yes...hugely underrated.
Major Nelson: For the month of November, Xbox Live Gold members will receive four new free games - two on Xbox One and two on Xbox 360.

That's actually really good.
Dante's Inferno is a must play.
BF1 is a good get but they've practically been giving it away lately. It was on sale for about $5 on PSN and the season pass was made free. BF1 is excellent, but it's cheap af now, so i'd assume that anyone who wanted it has already purchased it by now. Regardless, this is a pretty good month especially considering how atrocious GwG was last time. Dante's Inferno is actually a very good God of War clone. I beat it on 360 and PS3 and even though it is obscenely short, the ride is fun the entire time.
yeah, I guess after giving away the game for almost nothing and the Premium for free, I guess putting it on here won't hurt a bit. I also got the base game for <$5 during the last sale and the Premium for free too. still have yet to touch it though
Very good month.
Dante's Inferno is criminally underrated. Strange that EA would make a sequel to all their other games but not this one
Dante's Inferno is a good game. It's a quality God of War clone, but it isn't without flaws. I love the game, but i can understand why the reviews were hit n miss. The game features all 9 circles of hell, and early on each circle is distinct and unique. I was impressed with the different enemy variety and unique feel from the first several circles, but as you descend further the levels become repetitive and lazy. The last 3rd of the game simply recycles the same enemies from previous floors. The gameplay also devolves into fighting mindless mobs of redundant enemies over n over. Inferno is also a very short game. There just isn't much run-time and it feels as though the devs rushed the ending. While the skill tree is extensive there really is no weapon variety. The story could've been expanded upon as well. The final boss was also a disappointment. I love the game, but i can at least understand the mixed reviews. The art was phenomenal though. Some of the best representations of hell ever made. Great visuals, good framerate, and solid combat.
I seriously disagree with your opinion of it's flaws. While I think the game does have flaws it's not for the reasons you listed.
"The last 3rd of the game simply recycles the same enemies from previous floors."
That's pretty much what God of War does, I don't think you should fault this game for that. There comes a point in the game where you have to take all that you have learned from the previous levels and start to apply them to beat later levels. Think about the Mega Man games as an example.
"The gameplay also devolves into fighting mindless mobs of redundant enemies over n over."
Disagree with this also, especially considering the this is a hack n slash action arcade game.
My biggest criticism is not having more weapons to choose from. If i remember correctly all you have is your scythe. It would have been nice if they gave you other weapons to fight enemies.
"..and it feels as though the devs rushed the ending."
I agree with this, which is why this game needs a sequel. The ending was left way too open ended with little explanation on what happened or what will happen next.
I just find it strange that EA will milk their other franchises but yet this one that came out at a time when EA was releasing new IP's (Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Dead Space) remains dormant.
I have Race the Sun on my PS4 and play it with and without PSVR. I kinda dig this game. It's a fun addictive game that's kinda tough at least for me. I seem to do better when playing it within the PSVR though I can't explain why. I now have a Xbox and if it's free so I'll be dnloading it for sure. If you don't already have this game or never heard of it, it's a free Xbox dnload and IMO a good one so give it a shot. Worst case if you don't care for it.....delete it. I
