It’s a Sprint: Games Leaving Game Pass December 31st Edition

Humankind by Amplitude Studios and Aspyr

Better late than never, I suppose. 

I was finally able to finish Amnesia: The Bunker, though I’m embarrassed by how long it took for a game that’s barely five hours. Don’t misconstrue that as it being bad. I’m planning to write a full review of it over the next week. Look forward to it–or else. 

Here is the list of everything leaving Game Pass before the new year. You’re probably better off trying to clear your backlog before 2025, but I accept this is an impossible task if you’re anything like me and actively playing 10 things simultaneously.

This is the first time I’ve written one of these and have absolutely no relationship to any of the titles, so instead I’ll plug my interview with Bard one more time (check the “interviews” tab) because I’m proud of it. 

We’re officially two months into Tactical Reload and I think the experiment has been successful, so far. I appreciate your support, stay tuned for more cool stuff.
