Analysis: A good month in a great year
This is shaping up to be a fantastic year for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. There's been plenty of great games added so far, and that's before the addition of third-party games confirmed to be coming, such as MLB The Show 24, as well as first-party additions like Avowed, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Diablo 4, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
For this month, I highly recommend that anyone who enjoys "boomer shooters" be sure to check out Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. It cleverly mixes older presentation with new graphical techniques, feeling like a refreshed best-of-both-worlds.
In our review for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, fellow contributor Alexander Cope wrote that "The fast-paced gunplay combat is challenging and enjoyable, with plenty of entertaining weapons for blowing enemies up. Its 2.5D pixel-art graphics are particularly gorgeous, oozing charm and adoration for the Warhammer 40,000 universe."
