Windows Central's take
These next couple of weeks are a bit quieter for my personal tastes, which is fine as I'm still trying to mop up achievements in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. I'll definitely make time to check out Planet of Lana though, it looks absolutely gorgeous.
From creative indies to big blockbusters, there's always new games coming to Xbox Game Pass. Titles like Planet of Lana and Chicory provide new colorful adventures that are quite different from many of the usual titles.
