Luckily both are represented in the Game Pass Haloin the form of theMaster Chief Collection.

If youre on console, you should have access to essentially all of theGearsgames, including the recentGears 5.

As for shooters outside Microsofts wheelhouse, I cant recommend the first twoMetrogames enough the first in particular.

Game Pass has a decent variety of kinds of RPGs.

If you want a 2D real-time hybrid, you could playIndivisible, a personal favorite of mine.

If you like platformers

Good, old platformers giving us the best gaming memories since 19-whatever.

Game Pass has a few options, though I have a particular soft spot for theOrigames.

If youre in the mood for something a little more slow-paced, I can recommend the beautifulGrison PC.

Luckily, as a thalassophobe, I can listSubnauticahere instead.

The other big survival game available on both PC and console isARK: Survival Evolved.

If you want something a little more lighthearted, theres alsoOvercooked 2.

On the contrary, I wholeheartedly endorse the story of theYakuzagames orOrior… well, any of them.
