It seems most Steam users still prefer to buy games instead of using Gamepass. Microsoft made a push to get more PC Gamepass subscribers(they had a promotion with friend trials, might still be going) since there’s huge potential for growth but I’m not sure how it’s going.
Amnesia: The Bunker has been amazing so far. It has been checking all the boxes for effective, fun-to-play, horror. The gameplay loop and systems make it so it’s easy to pick up and put down, where each adventure into the bunker feels like you are breaking some new ground before returning back to the central saferoom. The sound and level design are also perfect. All I can say is that it really does feel like I am in a sprawling WW1 bunker that has a horrifying eldritch monster burrowing in its walls.
In addition to the Octopath mention, the Xenoblade Chronicles games have some absolutely stellar soundtracks.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has a night theme and day theme for each individual large area, and there are a lot of them, alongside a variety of battle music, insert tracks, and more. Each of the night/day themes share overlapping motifs, alongside motifs reflective of the larger music work as a whole.
If you like more orchestral music checkout the soundtrack for Nier Automata. It came out a couple years ago and I find it great to listen to while working.
You should check out the soundtrack for the original Nier as well, (Or Replicant I suppose). I fell in love with the OST back when Nier first released as Gestalt, and I still think it’s better than Automata. Well except for the amusement park. That track slaps.
It’s because it’s using Ubi’s Open World engine - all they do is swap out voices/sound and art. Outlaws is basically a Far Cry/Assassin’s Creed Star Wars Theme.
