for Game Pass because of this price drop, right?

Like this is sort of more about like, hey, let's make sure that our fans don't hate us and roll back the pricing there.

Forget that.

Only an Xbox is an Xbox right now, which is tough for those looking for them and who can't find them in retail stores anymore for some reason.

Yeah, I loved Returnal.

It was an incredible game to me.

I really loved the gameplay in that.

I loved how the narrative tied in with the gameplay.

I think it made just one

nice, coherent message about trauma.

And I think that... I was really looking forward to Sorrows, and I do think it is a very good game.

I will start by saying I think it is a very good game.

I think there are two things about it that keep it from reaching Returnal's heights for me.

One is that I think there's been...

a bit of an overcorrection to appeal to more gamers in this.

I found that the difficulty in the back half of Saros became a bit trivial due to some of the game systems that they've put in here.

Yeah.

And that challenge being reduced...

lowered the tension and lowered the stakes of the game for me.

And the other thing that I kind of struggled with a little bit is the story in Sorrows, which I do think picks up in the back half.
