I thought Frostpunk was already on Game Pass, but i wouldn't say no to Frostpunk 2 day1 on Game Pass.

lots of very popular games, i would hazard a guess you are a TRIPPLE!AAAAORGTFO kinda guy tho so, no they havent.

Good for that team. At the very least, releasing on Game Pass Day 1 is good exposure. Then it’s up to the dev to make a good game.

Frostpunk is a treasure. Hard, punishing, but so good. Children of Morta is probably my second favorite rogue-lite after Hades. They release good stuff so it is a win for GP.

Yes. Frostpunk, This War of Mine, and Children of Morta

Yes. Frostpunk, This War of Mine, and Children of Morta

Cool, I’ll look into those then. Thanks!

I highly recommend Children of Morta, if you like an overhead action game - and don’t mind the art style. The father who you start out with is ok, but you quickly unlock other family members with different (and more fun imo) fighting styles.
