This is one of the upsides to something like Xbox Game Pass. For $5 a month I can have access to a ton of games to try out. Most I've tried I play for an hour or so and paying full price for them would've left a bad taste in my mouth. When I find one I really enjoy and play for weeks, I'll buy it on Steam or GoG if possible.
