James writes - "The famed point-and-click adventure genre can stir up many different emotions and feelings, depending on the game. Having played a fair few of this ilk over the years, I can attest to that; the puzzling Deponia series is so clever that it bamboozled me, Lair of the Clockwork God caused laughter in abundance, and My Brother Rabbit tugged on the heartstrings. Mojiken Studio have created a point-and-clicker that falls into the latter kind of adventures, with When The Past Was Around telling a tale of love and loss. Will it deliver something so lovely that it leaves you reaching for the tissues, or instead looking for the off button?"
Enjoy two completely different vibes this July with Games with Gold! On Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, try to survive the terrors of the night in Darkwood, and then starting on July 16, puzzle your way through a whimsical tale of love, loss, and finding yourself in When the Past was Around.
This is getting absurd, it looks like MS wants to keep pushing to see with how much they can get away with, the scary thing is that most likely it's not even affecting their bottom line.
There's some population of gamers/parents that just continue to pay. They might even not know about these crappy games being offered. And they don't know or care what they're missing on PS essentials
For $5 a month you can get games like Call of Duty and Alan Wake Remastered on PlayStation or you can get this garbage on Xbox. Just Sayin.’
Yes PlayStation plus games of the month are better than games with gold that’s just objective fact, but game pass is still a million times better than any of the PlayStation plus tiers

The problem there is convincing most of the gamers around the planet about that, the service is already 6 yrs old and hasn't moved the needle for xbox. It may be the best service for xbox fans but that's about it which by the way are the minority on the globe. Have you seen the record numbers of game sales every quarter??? There's a reason one is the market leader and the other is not.
Is it though PS plus premium has really been delivering the goods lately can't say I've used my gamepass sub all that much since high on life dropped
That isn't true in the slightest. I have both. PS is half the cost for twice the number of games, and much more quality ones. The only thing GP has is day one games, and let's be honest there aren't many.
Look at last month, PS added nearly 30 games and about 10 AAA games to Premium. GP added around 10 and 1 AAA game - Redfall. The quality being added each month on PS absolutely dwarfs the GP additions
The Humble Love is in the Air Bundle just launched. It includes eight items including A Story Beside, Later Daters, Sucker for Love, and more. As always, a percentage of profits from the bundle go to charity.
Last year saw the release of Mojiken’s latest title When The Past Was Around, a narrative video game about falling in love, following your dreams, and how we deal with loss and heartbreak. The game tells the story of Eda and Owl through art and music alone; doing so takes us on a journey with no language barrier, allowing for an experience rooted in emotion and human experiences. As you solve puzzles to progress the story, it’s hard not to be swept away in the world of violins, house plants, and coffee dates. I got to interview Brigitta Rena, Art […]
