Dishonored
One of my favorite games from a year of excellent games,Dishonoredalways seems to get forgotten. The stealth-action first-person assassin game is one of the best games published by Bethesda. Luckily, its sequelDishonored 2is on Game Pass, but as a fan of the entire series, I think it deserves a spot.
The Wolfenstein Series
The rebootWolfensteinseries are some of the best FPS games ever made. Turning a tired premise into something fresh is not an easy feat to accomplish, butWolfenstein: The New Order, The Old Blood, and The New Colossusmanaged to do just that. It’s a shame that only the series' black sheepWolfenstein: Youngbloodmade the cut.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
TheElder Scrollsseries is one of the dominant western fantasy RPGs in all of gaming. Currently, onlySkyrimandThe Elder ScrollsOnlineare on Game Pass which does the entire series a huge disservice.Oblivionpaved the way for so many RPGs that followed, so I think people should get the chance to give it a spin if they haven’t already.
For similar reasons toOblivion,Fallout 3should be easily accessible and playable to everyone through Game Pass. Its DNA can be seen across the entire gaming landscape. From a preservation standpoint, it would be cool to revisit the DC wasteland once again on the Series X. That said,Fallout: New Vegasis already on the service which took everythingFallout 3was trying to accomplish and used that as a jumping-off point.
DOOM (2016)
TheDOOMreboot accomplished so much. Among other things, it reminded people that theDOOMseries is one of the top dogs in the FPS genre. Last year’sDOOM: Eternalis on Game Pass, sure, but here atDualShockerswe can never get enough “rip and tear.” Bring us more of that fast-paced, high-octane, run and gun gameplay,please.
Now hear me out: I know thatDeathloopis coming out as a Playstation exclusive as a result of deals between Sony and ZeniMax made before the Microsoft acquisition. However, I thinkDeathloopshould be on Game Pass as soon as possible to show people just how influential the acquisition will be. Obviously, it can’t go up on day one, but when it does, I think that will be emblematic of what Microsoft’s purchase means.
What do you think? Let us know what I missed in terms of Bethesda Game Pass games down in the comments below.Stick withDualShockersfor all things Bethesda.
