Xbox Games Pass hit hard this month! Picking up the slack for no games on the Xbox 360 anymore on the Gold Sub, Xbox Games Pass has 14 titles being added this month. It ranges from Medieval themed games to scary horror games. Unfortunately for that reason, there are many games from the Xbox Games Pass that would not be child appropriate, such as The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season, The Walking Dead: Season Two, Scorn and several others. It’s a great selection for the spooky season but only for the parents with many Mature games. Playstation Plus starts off with a game we reviewed that I recommend, Hotwheels Unleashed, which is an E for Everyone title, while the other two games, Injustice 2 (DC characters fighting game) and Superhot (shooting game), are both Teen. Lastly we have Xbox Games with Gold which has just two games now, Windbound and Bomber Crew Deluxe Edition, which are both E 10+. These two are both generally family friendly and are more brain focused games as one is exploration survival (Windbound), and one is a strategic bombing sim (Bomber Crew). Overall, I think for families Playstation Plus might be the best offer this month! (But if I’m being honest, the Xbox Games Pass is very exciting this month: Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed!)
Talk again when it’s November 2022!
