Analysis: A large batch with plenty of variety

This is one of the bigger batches of Xbox Game Pass additions we've had in a while now, and it's great to see. Obviously, the shining star here is the first-party addition in the form of Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, a game I absolutely can't wait to check out. It's been a long time coming, having first been revealed alongside the Xbox Series X at the Game Awards 2019, but it's finally arriving.

There's plenty of other great games here as well though, and I hope people try them out. I'm particularly curious about Chants of Sennaar, a game I've heard praised repeatedly but wasn't able to play last year when it first arrived.
