I've just had to pick this up on Amazon. In the event it disappears from the windows store and physical prices increase I bit the bullet now. Got a chunk of if complete, but would rather play it at my own pace.

I'll only have time to start & finish one of the 20-25 hour ones. Sounds like most would recommend I tackle Strange Brigade - is that true even if I have no partner to play with?

It's gone now. As I suspected.

I replied to Canezza about suspecting this being the case as it showed up with the old games. It's annoying that it just showed up two days prior to removal as I also wanted to play it but thought I'd wait until the removal announcement because I am really not in the mood for lego games completion right now, but if I knew it was being removed I'd hop on that game at the start of the month.
Heh...yeah, I just tried it again as well for the first time since yesterday. Not a fan of the two week notice to begin with and this is just a slimy move on the part of M$, thanks guys.

The Surge though still seems to be active (for now) for some reason.

Yeah, gutted about the 36 hour notice period for LEGO Batman 3. If they had given proper notice, I would have gone for it.

Guess I should move LEGO City Undercover further up my list if the LEGO games aren't going to be sticking around for long.

I didn’t think the Xbox enabled version (with achievements) was available physically?

Sadly it wasn’t a mistake. It have been removed. I think that really disrespectful to remove a game from XGP without notice. I hope someone will tell that to Microsoft.

I just finished the Xbox version of Abzu on Xbox One. Apparently there is also one on PC with different achievements. I need to finish that too before the game leaves Gamepass.

Known my look it won't be, I double checked to make sure it didn't state "steam" anywhere. It'll be going back if it is.

Even if it doesn't state steam, since when they have made physical copies of windows store versions of games?
Any problem solved is a new problem made.

I'm not a PC gamer typically so it's not something I'd know. (For the record, and as expected it is a Steam version of the game. Return already requested.) I'll see what's left before it leaves game pass and decide if it's worth the purchase for what remains.

You can complete it even in 3-4 hours but that's not the point. Game doesn't tell you anything about mechanics, so if you can't figure something out by yourself then you're screwed, because there's no such a thing like "below walktrough" on web.

I mean, you can die and don't know why. Then you have to start from beggining. And die again.
There's wikis and other guides I've found actually. The game is actually really simple mechanically. Not sure what you mean by "you can die and don't know why" I knew why each time I died. The game has shortcuts and warps, you don't have to start from the beginning.

Microsoft are going to lose customers if they keep doing these short notice removals. I jumped on LEGO Batman 3 as soon as I saw it on the leaving soon list, but it's gone already. This is hardly a good advertisement for continuing game pass membership.

So glad I finished my last few Football Manager 2019 achievements today.

Just finished Below and it wasn't too bad. Enjoyed the game quite a bit, definitely had its challenging and a few frustrating moments, but overall I really liked it. Might've been able to get done a little quicker if it weren't for a few stupid deaths, but oh well, it's done now.On to the next game now.
