There is very little story and next to no direction, but I never stay lost for long there will always be another NPC to give me a hint or something else to work on, if it turns out that I don’t have the necessary powers for the current next step. Supraland sets itself apart with brilliant puzzle design, set in an ambitious world with so much to do and see that the few moments of frustration are easily forgotten once you find something else to do or try. The title doesn’t tell you much, and it only looks OK in screenshots. The characters are squishy little blobs of human-shaped plastic, and you have to earn new abilities and find coins to unlock more of the game’s world. This is one of the better first-person, open-world puzzle games in recent memory. It hit Game Pass this year, but it didn’t seem to make as much of a dent, which is a crime. Supraland was released on Steam in 2019, and has since earned more than 5,700 positive reviews on the service, giving it an “overwhelmingly positive” rating. Game Pass is not about having more games than you can play, although that’s certainly nice it’s about having the freedom to explore genres you’d never think you’d love. This is a game my children and I never would have tried if we’d had to buy a copy, but since it’s just kinda there to check out, we stumbled upon it and have been playing for days. Which is why Train Sim World 2020 is the perfect proof of concept for the entirety of Game Pass. But if you’re anything like me or my children, the first hour may hook you, and convince you to keep going. If the first hour bores you, the rest of the game won’t convince you. So many games let you do anything, but the many limitations of Train Sim World 2020 make it attractive in another way - asking you to learn how to do a series of very specific tasks consistently and well. You have to learn to drive by feel and by numbers, getting a sense of how fast you can go and when to begin slowing down. For example, you have to keep your passengers safe. This is like having the world as your personal train set, while still being bound by the rules and restrictions of the real thing. Train Sim World 2020 is a very detailed and capable reproduction of tasks and experiences that many might find dull.
