    Chorus has such awful voice acting and garbage story I didn't make it past the first (couple) missions.
    Gotta keep moving

    I really want to finish off Serious Sam 4 but haven't got XBS yet cry

    So I'm going to have to play it via Cloud on Sky's "Superfast fibre" connection (which is basically the slowest internet you can get and despite the name, isn't fibre) which REALLY struggles with fast-paced games.

    Shame the Windows version is a different achievement list, otherwise I'd just play it on PC.

    Man Mortal Shell has had some serious whiplash!

    Chorus is the one I’ll be hurrying to finish. Pretty fun. If you play it I’d say drop the difficulty to Easy, even on Normal the game has some brutal difficulty spikes early on.

    Chorus was fun but got a bit repetitive. Might give Maneater a go before it leaves. EDIT: or maybe not! Just looked at the DLC price and that's pretty steep for not much additional content.
    Looking for a place to happen, making stops along the way.

    I never finished the Maneater DLC.
    Looks like I'll have to jump back in for another bite. dive

    Dont understand why DLCs have not been warned about yet.
    I was going to start ManEater after the praise but

    - ManEater - DLC £12 - 17hr total completion
    - BridgeConstructer Portal - Hidden DLC in game (maybe £4?) - 26 hr completion
    Discusting practice to hide paid dlc ingame. im only aware of this & Rage2
    - Mortal Shell - DLC £7 - 50hr total completion

    so prehaps only viable games are:
    - Serious Sam 4 - 10hrs - apparently simple but only got comments here to go by, ive not looked up
    - Chorus - 25hrs - apparently no guide needed

    Nice to see them giving us a list a couple days earlier than usual. Now is the best time to start on Maneater and SS4.
    Yeah I had to look at the calendar thinking it can't be June already.
    Everyone is a winner.

    Well I had a feeling I'd miss Serious Sam 4 before it leaves. Still need to play the other ones first, so I never got to it.

    While there are no games from our Game Pass easy achievements article in this month's leavers, there are some titles here with short-ish completion estimates.
    Maybe because your article is incomplete? wink

    Maneater is easy completion. Bridge Construction Portal with ready solutions also is a very easy completion. Serious Sam 4 with all „easy mode” options turned on is another easy completion as well.

    If you haven't played Maneater, I highly recommend it. A shark game that doesn't take itself seriously and is just fun to play. Not too many games hit that note just right anymore but it does!

    As for Total War: Three Kingdoms, we don't have a completion estimate for you on that, as we don't have enough data — just one person has managed the completion here.
    So your data says it’s 135hr 45min completion. Not having data would suggest no one completed it.

    The quoted text states they don't have enough data, not that they don't have any data, which is true; a "completion estimate" as defined by the site requires a minimum of three votes (if I recall correctly), so there's definitely not enough data yet.

    No need to play the others first imo, just jump in. The game is a zany shooter, and while there's a lot more plot in this one, you'll only miss a few very small references to the past. A fun game.

    Maneater too, which starts awkwardly and becomes way better once you unlock some better stuff.

    Thinking I might playing the Windows version at least. Works for one of the TA medals in June as well.

    Comment was in jest but they did have one of these a couple weeks back where there were like 25 completions or something and no average on site so they just said they didn’t have enough. In reality they had more than enough, but a couple left mouse clicks to sort the times was too much extra work. Could be blown through in X time, can take X long or likely to you X.

    Time played does not necessarily correlate with completion time.

    25 completions does not mean 25 people gave estimates.

    Lucky I bought Maneater and Chorus while on sale love those games. Sad for the others but so many games to play!!! Always wanted to try out Mortal Shell
    If all pork chops were perfect, we wouldn't have Hot Dogs!!!
