    Great game. Played it last year. My tip for anyone playing solo is to get the dodge skill as soon as you can. It will ease the frustration of getting outnumbered haha

    Quick question - just confirming that you need to have Game Pass 'Ultimate' for this? (seems I only Game Pass Core, so not available?)
    JINN_Apex's avatar
    Core is just Xbox Gold
    They changed the name but you have same benefits such as Access to online mp and a basic gamepass library

    Ultimate unlocks everything plus other perks

    This has wound me up a bit, in a selfish way. The game was added to "Free play days" over the weekend, presumably to get people interested enough to buy it (which I did!). Only to then be added to Game Pass two days later? Seems really devious and intentional. I'm glad everyone else gets to enjoy it with Game Pass now, but that's left me feeling proper bitter.

    Great game, fantastic edition to game pass, even though I've already bought and finished it.
  5. Jamie_Cashman671's avatar
    Just my luck I played it when was free last weekend apart of the free days of play I enjoyed it so got it on disc on Monday for it to drop on Thursday apart of the game pass

    Great addition, fantastic game! Hopefully comes to PC Game Pass once the EGS exclusivity is finished.

    o didn't know that thx for that info,
    picked up the first Dead Island free, hopefully not too long like you say, better on pc than Xbox for me. (edited)

    Is shadow drop the correct term, the game came out a year ago, personally thought it was extremely linear, melee was fun, but the missions where constantly repetitive, to get here go get this oh zombies + boss in the way, got it, got to the place, same over.

    Crafting and melee was fun but i never finished it, bored the pants of me, oh and the respawn mechanics on looting, you can walk in and out of loading/buildings and the bags refil that you have already looted.

    It's a console game through and through all it needed was a bit of x-ray vision to get the full stamp.

    It's been "shadow dropped" on Game Pass, so yes, by definition of the word, it would be the correct term.

    Game pass remains incredible value.
  11. Brian_Wright's avatar
    Ooo. Nice, still got it installed from the freeplay last weekend.
  12. Skye_A's avatar
    Yet another one I bought just before it comes to Gamepass! Didn't try it on the freeplay weekend so wasn't even reeled in by that. To save all you good HUKD folk unnecessary expense shall I post regular updates of what I've bought recently and you'll know what to avoid!

    Such a good game so far, looks amazing on the series X
  14. mrmcdermot's avatar

  15. darkstryder360's avatar
    No way, what an addition.

    Probably my favourite game of 2023. It was so much fun, couldn't put it down.
  16. ThisIsFitz's avatar
    Great stupid fun
  17. Jaffo's avatar
    Great, but I'd just uninstalled it after the free weekend! Good job we don't have download caps now.
  18. craig.dobson4uP's avatar
    It's a great fun game.. Wish they'd announce these instead of shadow dropping them!..
    This plus tales of arise.. Amazing month!

  27. LeePaulBaxter's avatar
    Loved this. The pass is £15 in sale currently but IV read the dlc isn't great
    LeePaulBaxter's avatar
    Ah ok so the Haus dlc isn't great and the second dlc isn't out yet. (edited)
  28. Tech-Tastic's avatar
    No way I was going to buy this thanks for the heads up
  29. larrysanders's avatar
    Sweet
  30. KayinAmoh's avatar
    Excellent add, was enjoying my time with the free weekend but didn't have time to get through it.
  31. Fade2Grey's avatar
    Glad I didn't try and rush througih it over the free to play weekend now.
  32. Holooky's avatar
    oo Awesome! Ummed and arred about buying this but went for dying light 2 instead. Definately still interested to try it.

    Only problem is too many games to play already (edited)
    Danny_Brown's avatar
    I did as well and couldn't play it felt too serious and not fun. Really enjoying this
  33. tom118's avatar
    Underrated game, enjoy playing it.
    ibblackberry1's avatar
    Pretty solid ratings, 7.7 on metacritic, unless your saying its a 9 or 10 classic. Regardless I'll give it a go!
  34. Confused2's avatar
    Finally, a reason to turn my series x on
  35. telboy69's avatar

    Cool another game I'll never play.
    XP200's avatar
    You are not missing anything Brian, the game has two of the worst gaming mecanics, sponge enemies and breaking weapons........i got up to the first house, opened the gate, died, died, died and died again, and could not uninstall it quick enough.....but on a positive thank you gamepass for taking the hit, and it's almost Saturday, and you know what that means.......treat day! Lol
  38. H4M2's avatar
    Does it have the DLC?
    Kai_Kinder's avatar
    Game's on gamepass rarely have the DLC, and this looks to follow suit
  39. matthangzhou's avatar
    Almost bought this so many times. Self control finally wins! Great month with this and Boltgun for me (something else I almost bought in the PlayStation sale)
  40. JoeUk123's avatar
    Looked a bit crap but happy to try for fres
    LeePaulBaxter's avatar
    Was possibly the best game I played last year. Mindless fun. Upgrade the drop kick attack and have fun drop kicking zombies out of windows the physics are top notch in this
