Disney’s Epic Mickey was released exclusively for the Wii a couple years ago to a mixed reception with critics. Junction Point, led by Warren Spector, made a solid platformer featuring Disney’s main mascot, but the execution of the little things could've been better like the camera. What they had going with was Mickey’s magic brush and the moral choice system players had to deal with. The developers are back again with Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two and while some things remain the same, the core of the game has been changed to have a heavy focus on co-op, hence the title. A demo was recently released on Xbox Live and Playstation Network as Entertainment Fuse took a look at what is new with Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in the world of Wasteland.
Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is one of the greatest co-op platformers ever made, and can still be played on modern consoles & PCs.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are few brands out there that have anything like the appeal and recognition of Disney. Thanks to decades of beautiful and critically acclaimed animated films, the company is a household name that has expanded beyond just movies to include a variety of other ventures, including videogames. Disney has also grown its lineup considerably in recent years by acquiring Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars (although for the purposes of this article, I’ll only be covering Disney/Pixar output).
Thanks to their broad audience, Disney games usually show up on every viable platform out there, meaning that despite the brand’s affinity with Nintendo’s younger-skewing audience, both the PSP and Vita received a number of titles throughout their lives. Some of this was through Disney's own developer/publisher (Disney Interactive Studios), but the firm also licensed out its IPs for other companies to try their hand at – with somewhat mixed results."
Xbox Wire: "It’s true, constantly bringing more games to you is kind of our schtick at Xbox Game Pass, so let’s talk about the journey these latest additions took to get from us to you! We started with the customary good luck ceremony, during which we wrote heartfelt haikus in tribute to each game, and the social media team sang their rehearsal solos for the Xbox Game Pass: The Musical."
I heard really good things about the Alien game. Gonna check out. Another win for Gamepass
alien isolation is a great game. I love how they stayed true to the original film with the late 70's sci fi vibe.
Alien: Isolation has the highest number of players who never finished the game - of all the games... this is why I never bothered with it...
Alien isolation is great. It just needed some editing. If it was about 30% shorter it woukd have been a masterpiece
@Estvez yeah because it got very repetitive and rather than them wrap it up and bring it home they added another 10- 15 hours of nothing new. But would defo check it out on GP if you never played it, it really is faithful to look of the movie and still looks great now
One of the few bright spots for the Xbox One is the Xbox Game Pass. I am waiting for them to be the Netflix of gaming. Even for new titles. That's the goal. That would be so awesome. That's like their main selling point.
The native 4k triple A 3rd party games like far cry 5, shadow of tomb raider, red dead 2 and metro exodus is also a selling point to me. and backwards compatibility with some 360 and OG Xbox games get free 4K patches like half life the orange box and KOTR. Also More and Better free games with gold and you actually keep the Xbox 360 free games forever. And they offer pretty good ones I’ve filled out my gaming library with good titles like South Park stick of truth for example. The controller and 4K blu Ray playback are nice as well.
And while they don’t have the best game library of all platforms there are still pretty great games that can’t be played on a Nintendo or Sony system like games in the halo Forza gears franchise and new games like ori and the blind forest quantum break from remedy sunset overdrive from insomniac. Plus looking forward to new games from ninja theory.
But your right game pass is a big plus. Getting titles like doom, hitman, shadow of the tomb raider, rise of tomb raider, fallout 4, rocket league, alien isolation, resident evil revelations, plus all first party Microsoft games is a damn sweet deal!
It's shocking how much speed Game pass has picked up recently. The selection of new games is great so far.
