I thought a thread should exist of what current GamePass games are short and worth playing for your last few days of the subscription for awhile.

I bought a month for Indiana Jones which I just finished last night, so I have til January 8th before my sub expires.

Any suggestions? I’d suggest the Hellblade games but I already beat those. Edit: Basically games that can be beat in 5-10 hours to maximize your GP time.

STALKER 2, Indiana Jones, Donut County, MS Flight Sim, Forza Horizon 5, Frostpunk 2

Those are my suggestions in this order

I meant games that can be beat in like a handful or two of hours. But I do wanna try more stalker 2.

In that case Donut County, if you want to finish it during those 2 hours. Seems like a stupid game, but it is really great.

Flight sim the rest of the way

There's a table at the bottom of the page that you can sort by game length. Some personal recommendations are Shredder's Revenge (3.5 hours), Unpacking (4 hours), GRIS (4 hours), and Firewatch (4.5 hours).

Inside and Firewatch would be my recommendations

The first two that came to mind for me were Limbo and Inside. About 3 and 5 hours.
Crackdown 3 is also a very short game if all you want to do is complete the main story. Maybe 5.5 hours.
Also the Hivebusters expansion for Gears 5 is truly excellent. Only 3 hours. It might take longer to install the game than it will to complete the DLC, since you have to install the full Gears 5 GOTY edition to play it.

As Dusk Falls is a pretty good interactive movie/game that is fun to play co-op with a friend/loved one. Citizen Sleeper is even better narrative book/adventure game with a lot of great sci-fi ideas. Cocoon is an amazing puzzle game made by the Inside guy. I don't think you need more than 15-20 hours to finish Dead Island 2 which is surprisingly entertaining. Death's Door is fantastic isometric adventure, action puzzle platformer. Evil West is kind of OK. Despite the snark here on Neogaf, I loved Flintlock. That one will probably take a bit more to complete, but no more than 30 hours. Jusant, maybe.

Still Wakes the Deep - very beautiful walking sim with some simple stealth sections & puzzles. Can be finished in less than 4 hours. I didn't like the ending, but I liked the overall premise, the main character, the dialogues (a lot of them felt very natural) and "creature designs".
Little Kitty, Big City - technically it's an open world game, but it's very small and short. Easily done in around 5 hours (or less if you ignore some side quests). The humor is great and you can do a lot of asshole things as a cat (unlike Stray which can take itself too seriously).

The two that come to mind are Metal Slug Tactics and We love Katamari: Reroll.

Each is doable in 1-2 evenings at best if all you care is finishing the main game (there is a lot more to do in MST after you finish it once). If you’ve never done KD it’s a classic.
