Our Take
What we think about The Ascent
We had a blast with The Ascent. The graphics were great, and we loved how we could choose from different races and classes. We enjoyed exploring and looting while we killed all the monsters. The story was really good and we think it had a lot of depth and character development. Top-down games are not usually our first pick, but the customization, exploration, and fast-paced action set this game apart. We recommend The Ascent to all gamers that were fans of Diablo, The Witcher 3, and Borderlands.

Our Take
What we think about Back 4 Blood
Having played and enjoyed the "Left 4 Dead" games, it was exciting to know we could play Back 4 Blood on Xbox Game Pass. What we like about Back 4 Blood is that it is was jointly developed by Turtle Rock Studios, the original creators of "Left 4 Dead", and Blood Interactive, so we know that they were committed to creating a great game. The gameplay is brutal, and the humor is dark and twisted. Anyone interested in zombie survival games should open up Xbox Game Pass and play this right now!
