Ever think a 2D side-scroller could make you jump out of your chair in fright? Well, give The Final Station a go! With its amazing sound design and easy to handle controls it’s a great simple game to pick up and play when you fancy something other than the normal horror genre that’s making the rounds at the moment.
From Xfire: "The rise of vintage pixel graphics in modern games has brought a huge range of amazing, beautiful titles to us - and these games will let your poor, overworked PC take a breath. Here are the top 10 pixel art games for low-power PCs."
You can also add old school RPGs to the mix if you’re into them. Their slow pace work great with my old laptop. Currently playing Trails in the sky.

But as the Xbox Game Pass slowly tightens its grip on the gaming world, the power and prestige of the Games With Gold scheme has diminished. Surely though with Star Wars and Sherlock Holmes games going free throughout November 2019, the draw and appeal should be huge again?"
In November on Xbox One, become the world’s greatest detective in Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter and then take a ride across a dystopian world in The Final Station. On Xbox 360, and Xbox One via Backward Compatibility, the Force takes flight with Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, then enjoy madcap kart racing in Joy Ride Turbo.
The worst month ever. Ever since GP grew in popularity GWG selections have been horrible.
Wow. It has clearly been terrible, and looks worse when Sony's offerings are so much better.
The Xbox One game is Final Station?
I'm not going to lie, hearing Major Nelson's stupid voice fawn over this selection makes the pain so much worse.
GwG has a good month every now n then, but overall the quality is way down since Gamepass. Way too many terrible months like this one.
Sorry you don`t like the free games. II don`t have any of those so I am looking forward to giving them a try.
Maybe, but with Microsoft people who pay for Xbox Live still get 4 games on 2 different platforms, instead of just 2 on 1 platform on Playstation, since Sony have stopped offering games for the PS3 (and the PS Vita before that). When you think it was Sony who came up with that idea of charging people not to play online but to rent games. Just how much lower can they stoop, it makes you wonder...
When those four games are trash your argument is a wash and when a company like Microsoft follows suit and does the very same thing it makes you wonder how much lower they can stoop too right, or are you just singling out Sony?
Yet PS+ offered 6 games on PS+ for years while MS offered 4. When PS5 releases in a year the PS+ offering will go back to at least 4. Meanwhile, since dropping to 2 games the quality has dramatically increased. There are no issues here, you just seem salty that GwG is terrible atm
So just get gamepass. It could not be a better value. You have to expect that games with good will suffer when Xbox is offering so much for so little on gamepass.
Is Starfighter similar to Rogue Squadron?
Edit: After research it looks horrible. You just move a reticle around an empty map.
It's not just a reticule. You can see the entire ship and what not just like you would in Rogue Squadron if you choose to. It's also not just an empty map. You are on different planets, in space. It's actually very similar to RS. Not nearly as good though.
It's not horrible, but it's nowhere near as good as Rogue Squadron.
The Sherlock Holmes game is pretty good if you like adventure type games.
Yeah I like Star Wars but for that to be the best game is shocking it’s a ps2 game lol
They're giving mediocre games on gold so people buy game pass. It's a shitty move, but a smart one.
Got me tempted to give this one a go
