New Super Luck's Tale is a big hit with my kids (more than some Mario games!) and Overcooked is a hit with my wife. Not sure I would have purchased either without gamepass but I just might have to in the future ;) Wargroove was fun too, it's leaving soon, but I've purchased it (on my switch).

I ended up really liking Darksiders Genesis. It wasn't a game I was planning to buy for full price, but since I like the Darksiders series, I tried it out when it came to Game Pass and had enough fun I wouldn't have been sad if I had bought it at launch.

Favorite Xbox Game Game Pass gem that I really didn't think I would love as much as I did was A Plague Tale: Innocence. The voice acting in that game is captivatingly endearing and second to none, IMHO, and I really enjoyed the story and the gameplay.

@liquiddaylight: Same loved Plague Tale, I would also agree with his take on Edith Finch. I would have never bought that game but it was really something special , I highly recommend giving it a go.

@liquiddaylight: Same. That's likely a game I never would have picked up if it wasn't "free" on Game Pass, and I'm so happy I did as it's just a fantastic game. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is another I would put in the same category.
