Dialogue is a hallmark of RPGs. Whether you’re recruiting a gang of sexy aliens to your cause or haggling with a merchant over some life-saving elixir, talking to people is a core part of embodying your role. But few games dig deep into making conversations meaningful, and even fewer are actually about those conversations. Signs of the Sojourner tells the story of a road trip with a purpose primarily through conversations, and in the process, it becomes one of the best games ever about the joy and pain of human connection. And since it’s leaving Xbox Game Pass at the end of August, you really need to get to playing it as soon as you can.
