How to use Microsoft game pass to save money and my opinion on Crackdown 4 and Forza Horrizon 4

So thanks to Microsofts gamepass which I am not sure if I would recomend at £7.99 a month of not but would very heartly recomend you try with the various try for £1 a month or £2 for two months deals they have been offering, I have managed to try a few things CrackDown 3 being one of them so I thought I would give a quick opinion on what I have tried. Starting with Crackdown 3 I think that it is important to say that so far I have only put a few hours in to it but from what I have played I have found it to be very enjoyable, it wont set the world on fire, in total honesty despite being prettier nothing much is that diffrent between this and the first game in the series but then again why try to fix what is not broken. If you enjoy open world games and like driving and shooting and taking down bad guys then you could certainly do a lot worse, I am not sure that it is really worth its full Recomended Retail Price though, in this case I actually feel that within a month of GamePass just playing it here and there that you would most likly have been able to see everything in the game you want to see and will have probably grown tired of it. So in this case I would strongly recomend that you grab game pass on offer if possible and play the heck out of the game grab some agility orbs, do some crazy stunts in the various cars but hold the majority of your cash back in order to buy something with a bit more to it than this.

I have also been playing Forza Horrizon 4 on Gamepass now this is a game that I do think has enough content and is good enough to buy but I figured that I would just keep playing it on gamepass until the cheap gamepass offers went away, at which point I will proberbly buy Horrizon 4 but I imagine by then it should be a darn site cheaper to grab a second hand copy from some video game shop or pawn store. I guess what I am trying to get at is the fact that if GamePass is cheap grab it and play as much stuff as you can because you will likly save yourself a tonne of cash either by finishing games and removing the need to buy them or at the very least tredding water for awile until the price of the games you want becomes lower.

I keep meaning to try Sea of Theieves but there is just so little time and so many games, I have also used GamePass to try a whole bunch of indy games and to even download Knights of the Old Republic a game I very much loved back on the original Xbox, sure I own this game, I have it somewere in my house but if its there and I can play it for awile at least and put off having to find the disc then why not.

If there is anything I believe in the world of video games its that you should try to get as much bang for your buck as you can, and I think with a little bit of tactical spending then GamePass can be your friend.
