Thank you, Game Pass

One of the things I love about Game Pass is how much diversity it's added to my game consumption. "I DON'T PLAY GAMES LIKE THAT" was something I used to say a lot more than I do now that I have a massive, diverse slate of games to try for no additional cost. Eventually it completely changed the way I play games. Here's a few memorable bangers that I never would have tried without Game Pass, ordered roughly by how much I would not have played it without Game Pass.

The original! I don't remember if this is actually the first GP game I downloaded, but I do remember it was during my free trial period. That brand-new feeling of "well this looks mildly interesting, and what have I got to lose?" which I would come to love in the forthcoming years.
