Play INSIDE!
There are some low points that get glanced over by all the praise (some really plain hallways), but the game still holds up great today.
I own Inside and Castlevania and don’t care about the other 2.
I swear I keep Gold and PS Plus just so I can access past games. It’s very rare for either to offer a game I don’t own or that I care about lol.
So e of that is my fault as I buy everything I want so of course it’s rare for one to pop up but damn it’s depressing

This is a very good month.. I own Inside such an amazing game... will definitely download and try out the others.
Definitely going for Inside. Given that I've enjoyed other kids film to game adaptations that were given on GwG that other people said were good, like Brave and Cars 2, I'll definitely give Meet the Robinsons a shot.
I wish I could download SotN for the first time again. I adore it so very much.

This seems like an alright month imo. Don't have any but SotN, and I got that just two months ago, which blows a bit.
Something I thought of though: With MS not adding new BC games until at least Scarlett launches, can we assume that all upcoming 360 GwG games can be seen in the BC list? Can't see why they'd give away a non-BC 360 game at this point in time

Some months I think people over state the difference between gold and plus games but holy shit this month it’s huge
Same here. I bought SOTN a few months ago too for $5, so I'm not that mad about it.
I will say though that the 360 version of SOTN really feels like it came out in the early days of that console's lifespan. It was made to fit below a certain file size and there just aren't any QOL features that we're used to today, like save states, changing the aspect ratio so there are no black bars, stuff like that. Don't get me wrong, it's still worth playing, but this version really shows it's age.
Inside & SoTN are both fantastic, but as someone who’s played them both this is a quiet month for me...
For sure, and a good amount of that will be OG Xbox games based on what was on offer the last few months.
Man you are in for a wild ride. Enjoy!
Yeah they stripped out FMV's IIRC to get the filesize down. It's a bit of a shame that they never went back to the game after those restrictions had been lifted to put that stuff back in. A game of SotN's calibre deserves better to be honest. Still totally playable though so at least it exists.
