With the 360 games no longer being added to the monthly Games with Gold offerings it seems 'weird' to 'just' see 2 games. With luck quality should increase. Speaking of which I think they have with at least one this month...
Bomber Crew is a great fun game I've played a lot of on PC; Via a free humble bundle code for Steam and later buying the USAAF dlc. My posts on that here, here and here. So seeing the Deluxe all in version free on Xbox should be an interesting return to the game for me.
Windbound a game I've not known about except for hearing the name(just sounds familiar). A shipwrecked alone experience on an uncharted island where you explore and adapt as you navigate land and sea to survive and thrive; All sounds interesting enough. Yet not a game I'll be diving into as even the 'good' reviews of the game on Steam are fairly scathing about the games mechanics. A visually good looking game let down with it's punishing and essentially meaningless survival mechanics. It also seems that the storyteller 'easier' mode lacks any motivation in story to drive the grind of game mechanics. A grind for the sake of it, it seems. A lot of nice ideas let down with implementation of the game. So I'd say a very polarizing game to say the least. Proof in the pudding and all; If it's a game that clicks with a gamer good on them. For me it's a case of too many games not enough time already. Maybe I'll miss a hidden gem....
