Great news because when Extraction was shown, it wasn't received particularly well due to its shift in tone. But now that it will be available on Game Pass, I think a lot of people who weren't planning on getting it, including me, will be playing it thanks to the lower cost.
@Bleachedsmiles Wholeheartedly agree. More and more games will be hundreds of GBs in size and I don't want to constantly wait before playing a new game. Not to mention having to always download patches. Being able to stream games without any waiting time is definitely how I want to do things in the future.
I think it's fair to say that the ending isn't for everyone, but I genuinely thought the gameplay loop was brilliant. I'm the type of person who usually hates time-loop themes in media, but this game handled it very well. One thing this review doesn't bring up is that as you progress though the game, you will gain shortcuts on a frequent basis so that you don't have to repeat everything you've done to reach that point. It's not even that long of a game, it's roughly 4-5 hours long and I managed to finish it in one afternoon, which surprised me since I rarely finish games in one go but this one really captivated me. I've even seen people finish it in only 2-3 hours if you're lucky enough to do all the right things on your first try. So I'd definitely recommend giving it a go.
The Vita is home to my favourite games of all time: Persona 4 Golden, Trails of Cold Steel 1 and 2, Danganronpa 1 and 2, Steins;Gate and while it's through PS1 BC, I'm absolutely loving Final Fantasy 7 on my Vita. It's definitely my favourite handheld of all time and it deserves so much more love.
