Most of these games are better than any that have been on Games with Gold in probably 3+ years, definite improvement over Gold.
For anyone that hasn't, play Slay the Spire. Great game.
Surprised it's Halo 5 they have on the list and not Halo MCC.
I think the games are strategically chosen to make you "want" to upgrade to a higher Tier and get other titles.
Halo 5 is probably one of the worst titles in the franchise... But maybe enough for you to want to spend more to get a Tier with MCC and/or Infinite.
Personally I have stopped my Gold subscription, first time in 20 years as Gamepass doesn't appeal to me.
If this was Nintendo people would be screaming about how its a scam and vastly overpriced and should be free lol.
The list of games are good enough, I do wonder when it say's the game list will be updated two to three times per year, will it be a few games that get taken out and a few games get added, all 36 get removed and 36 new games get added, or will all 36 games stay, and a few games get added throughout the year.
probably just the 3rd party ones
Pretty good selection
