SUMMARY
This week the easy answer seems like Sea of Thieves being added to PS5. I’m drawn to pirate games and need to revisit that one on PC. Played it on Game Pass a little bit. Braid is one I already own and it didn’t grab me quite as hoped for, but maybe will give that another shot someday. Motorcycle games are a racing subset I’m interested in and feel like I’ve played at least one of the MotoGP’s in the past. All in all, this week has some promise, but no titles jumping out at me saying “buy this now!” What about you?
