I stopped playing after a couple of months, which might seem strange considering I think it’s a really memorable game. I played it mostly on my own, enjoying the freedom to progress at my own speed and really get lost in the world.

This makes Game Pass easier to recommend, but now the discussion has shifted: instead of comparing it to last year’s value, people are wondering if the current price makes it the best deal in gaming again.
