Meet PC Game Pass’ Autumn Curator, Content Creator Bruce Greene

Astroneer
“This sport I performed when it was first in Alpha again in, I believe it was 2017, and it was sort of like this epiphany I had as a result of typically these types of crafting video games simply don’t get me. Astroneer is like the proper mixture of survival, crafting, and exploration. And it’s additionally house and I really like house. I only recently performed via it once more a number of months in the past and it’s virtually excellent. It’s principally LEGO in house — it’s simply a tremendous development of exploration and crafting.”

Hitman World of Assassination
“I liken Hitman very a lot to a Bethesda Softworks sport, as a result of it’s an open world, go anyplace, do something sort of sport — you may be as ridiculous as you need. You possibly can gown up as wacky characters, like a clown or a mascot or no matter, and remove individuals in discrete methods. That’s one of the best a part of all the latest Hitman’s in 1, 2, and three. The World of Assassination is all of these packaged collectively, along with a rogue-light mode for Hitman. That’s even wilder as a result of it’s such as you’re taking part in a bunch of Hitman ranges in a row, however you’ll be able to’t get caught or die — which is so exhausting in Hitman! You possibly can play it actually enjoyable and wacky, otherwise you may be tremendous “tryhard” about it after which undergo the rogue-light mode. However Hitman is rather like the proper instance of an open world sport that basically vibes with my character.”

Microsoft Flight Simulator
“I’ve been taking part in PC video games for 25 years, so I’ve an actual attachment to, normally, flight simulators. Microsoft Flight Simulator is the one which I keep in mind first taking part in once I was a child. It blows my thoughts as a result of it’s like, ‘wait… how will you fly something like an actual plane, or perhaps a enjoyable fictional plane?’ The most recent Microsoft Flight Simulator is simply otherworldly. It’s nearly precisely what you’d need, as a result of now you’ll be able to journey and see totally different components of the Earth by way of a flight simulator, which is one thing I’ve at all times wished to do. I wished to be a pilot, so yeah, it vibes completely with me.”

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord
“The very best a part of Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord is you’re shifting throughout a map, conquering totally different components, very very similar to Civilization. Nonetheless, every encounter, while you’re conquering, turns into third-person bloodbath. So, you get in your horse together with your polearm after which battle a bunch of individuals individually as you’re conquering. So moderately than simply watching the numbers go up or down while you’re conquering particular areas of the map, you’re truly getting on the market together with a bunch of different pleasant or enemy AI. It’s nice.”

Starfield and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Particular Version
“Working a full-time job and making content material for YouTube, I by no means had time to sit down down and put hours into these video games. Now that I’m streaming — and I’ve been streaming for 4 years full-time — it’s excellent as a result of if you wish to play two hours of it, you’ll be able to play a few hours of it. If you wish to play seven or 16, you are able to do it and it’s like this fixed stream of assembly new NPCs and fight. And the actually enjoyable, partaking tales work completely for not solely my very own character, but in addition for streaming. I had by no means performed Skyrim or, properly, clearly Starfield, however I hadn’t performed these video games till lately. I performed Skyrim for the primary time for a 24-hour stream and as quickly as I used to be accomplished with that, I finished the stream, rested, after which got here instantly again to Skyrim as a result of I used to be having a lot enjoyable.”

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide
“I’ll be completely trustworthy: I’ve by no means been hooked up to Warhammer or Warhammer 40K lore. I’ve been taking part in Warhammer miniatures for years; we’re speaking 10-15 years, lengthy earlier than they had been ever main video video games like Vermintide. Darktide is the “sequel” to Vermintide, and Darktide, in my view hits that system fairly near perfection. When it comes to Vermintide and Darktide, it’s Left 4 Useless, however within the Warhammer universe and it’s simply enjoyable to play time and again with your folks — I’ve performed Darktide for 100 hours to date. Fatshark (the builders) have a extremely passionate neighborhood and are at all times wanting to verify the sport is perfected. They’re working very, very exhausting to ensure that that sport will get higher and higher. It’s nice.”
