Need For Speed franchise on sale at Steam with up to 75% discounts.
The I realised that EA Play is coming to Game Pass PC on 10th November at no extra cost and NFS will be included, so I'm holding till then
The thing is, with GamePass & EAPlay, you don't own the games, you're just renting them.

Where I live, Game Pass is around $2.50 per month, so from a cashflow point of view it's a pretty good deal and there's always the option to buy at a discounted price should I decide to pull out.
Interesting. Argentina gets a lot of things very inexpensively.

The maps are small, and some of it can get a little repetitive at times. And it is a little light on the RPG aspect. However, I enjoyed it very much. It was just fun. The majority of the game is exploring former human civilization. Which is a post apocalyptic feature that I love. I like poking around where humans once lived. The combat with creatures feels pretty fluid. Rare for Obsidian, there were few bugs.

Cheap shark was recommended to me by my nephew and is great for popular games. The best is still Humble Choice though because there is no way to curate the amount of Games that are available on PC yourself. As an example this month's headline is Tropico 6 but I got a Game called Shadows Awakening that is a nice Arpg that I am absolutely enjoying.
