I’m Kinglink and it’s time for the Game Pass June 2022 Review.
We have a massive 18 games this month to cover and I’m excited to start running down the list, as there are quite a few titles that are going to please fans. The rules for this coverage are: I spend a night with each game, see how far I get, how they play, and if they’re worth checking out. I’ll tell you who will enjoy them and what to expect.
With so many games, let’s just get started with some massive creatures.
Read More »I’m Kinglink and it’s the second week of March so here’s the March 2022 Game Pass Review.
This month we have a smaller selection, but there are a couple of massive titles here which are worthy of your attention, at the same time, there is some variety between the Xbox and PC, as well as some cloud-only titles. There were also a couple of surprise releases not on these lists.
I’ve already reviewed the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, not once but twice this year already, and it’s only March, it’s the best way to play that series. However, it’s not radically new, so if you have played previously, it’s just the standard game. Lawn Mowing Simulator has been delayed for the Xbox One so that is incorrect, but I reviewed it recently, and I enjoyed it as a simulator. Finally, I don’t have anything to say about Super Mega Baseball 3, it was released 2 years ago already, but I did work on a competitor to it, and haven’t played it so we’ll leave that there.
But as normal I play all the titles on PC, and I’ll tell you what I think after a few hours of each, how the game is, who is it for, and who will enjoy them. I’m also going to add in a little audio from the games to give you a flavor of them, it’s an experiment so let’s see how it goes.
Let’s just get started so you can see how it works, and we’ll start with what I thought was the biggest game this month…
I’m Kinglink and welcome back. It’s almost the end of the year so it’s time to look at the Xbox Game Pass December 2021 Review…
Except wait… I normally play the Xbox Game Pass For PC, but that’s not a thing any more. The thing is I try to look at all the games for Game Pass, though I currently only play on PC, so I’m going to think about what to call this, but for this month, this is the PC Game Pass December 2021 Review, or just the Game Pass December 2021 Review take your pick.
The two services as of now are so similar, the only real difference this month was Among Us, which is extremely fun with others, considering it reviewed.
Also just a heads up, I have a discord server called The Roundtable, please check the description or the pinned comments for more details.
With all that said, once again there are just too many games for one video this month. So we are going to break this up once again because I don’t think anyone wants to hear me talking about games for forty minutes straight. 13 games this week, 13 games next week. So let’s see what the first half had on tap. Starting with.
I’m Kinglink and it’s sort of the middle of November, so it’s the Xbox Game Pass November 2021 Review.
Xbox has released eighteen games for PC over this span which is quite a lot, luckily it’s not so much that I had to split this video up, but I’m still having a great time with this selection and there have been some massive games this month as well. I’m sure some of you have heard of them.
But the thing is it’s the week before Thanksgiving and you know I always made these videos about the entire offering to see what I’m thankful for. It’s really easy to just say “Forza, Age of Empires” and call it a day. It certainly would make this process shorter, but the fact is I enjoy looking at the entire library, especially the indies. So let’s look at everything that came out for the PC on Xbox Game Pass for the past 30 days or so. Starting with…
I’m back, Kinglink here, and I’m doing Part 2 of the Xbox Game Pass October 2021 Review.
Part 1 is already on my channel, but don’t worry you don’t have to watch these videos in order. What happened was Xbox released 25 titles over the last month, and I’m showing both announcements on screen. We’ve covered the entire first image, but we’re going to have to power through the second because there are even more games not listed there. I’ve already reviewed 13 titles, so let’s look at the last 12 and talk about the best of the month. We have some of the heaviest hitters this month here as well. Let’s start with…
The Artful Escape comes from Beethoven & Dinosaur, a brand-new studio led by Johnny Galvatron, a former musician. That musical background is useful as the Artful Escape has a huge focus on its main protagonist and his music.
The opening of The Artful Escape focuses on the main character, Francis Vendetti, preparing for a tribute show for his uncle, Johnny Vendetti, while standing on an overlook. While he tries to play folk songs, he seems unable to perform but releases an amazing space opera guitar solo. Clearly, there’s something yearning to be free.
This is hardly the first time a game has tackled the creative process. Games have talked about the creation of music, writing, movies, and even video games. But rather than wax on the topic insufferably, The Artful Escape instead uses the topic as a springboard for a larger story.

On-screen are images that Microsoft has released of their top games which we’ll be covering, but that’s not good enough for me. I’ve played everything released on the service for PC over the last month, and it’s time to talk about the good and the bad.
I’ve spent at least two to four hours with most of these games, so I should be able to give you a good overview of what is worth checking out and why. I hope you’re ready because we’re going to cover 19 games this month, and yeah, that’s a lot. Let’s get started with…
There has been a recent resurgence in all forms of media where creators want to repackage 90s nostalgia to sell to customers while doing minimal work. Whether it’s a classic television show. a popular movie, or just the aesthetics, this is a common approach to creating new content while not giving the audience anything new or different than the original content.
Dodgeball Academia could be in that category. It’s clear the game is heavily inspired by a classic NES title, Super Dodgeball and it would be easy for someone to create a clone of that classic game and sell it for twenty or thirty dollars.
That’s not what Dodgeball Academia is about. While Pocket Trap, the developers of Dodgeball Academia are fans of Super Dodgeball, Dodgeball Academia is more of a love letter or an homage to a classic title showing what can happen when nostalgia is only the first step of a project.
