Xbox Game Pass subscribers are incredibly impressed with a new game that launched on the service this week. It’s a highly anticipated release for Xbox fans and is receiving a lot of positive attention. Not only is it exclusive to Xbox Series X and available on Game Pass from day one, but it’s also a genuinely well-made game, boasting a score of 76 on Metacritic, 4 out of 5 stars on the Xbox Store, and enthusiastic discussion on the Xbox Game Pass Reddit page.
This week, on April 14th, Belarusian studio Sat Cat Studios launched its first game, Replaced, with help from publisher Thunderful. The game was originally announced in 2021 and planned for release in 2022, so its arrival has been highly anticipated. Since launching, Replaced—a 2.5D cinematic action platformer—has been widely discussed on the Xbox Game Pass Reddit page, with players overwhelmingly offering positive feedback.
Xbox Game Pass Users Are “Blown Away”
On the Reddit page for the game’s subscription service, a popular post expresses a user’s amazement with the game, especially its graphics.
One post called this year’s best-looking indie game a complete surprise, praising its incredible graphics and amazing soundtrack.
One Reddit user wrote, “Replaced is awesome! It’s a fantastic game and I already love it. The game’s concept is great, and I appreciate its use of older technology.”
While a few individual posts don’t mean much, the overall reaction in the comments shows that Xbox Game Pass subscribers are really liking the new game that was released on the service.
One player wrote, “This game was perfect, and I’m really disappointed it’s finished! It felt incredible, and I’m excited to see what the developers create in the future!” Another commenter said they usually don’t like pixel art on modern systems, but thought this game looked fantastic.
Many players have noted that the game prioritizes story and atmosphere over gameplay. It’s a relatively short experience, lasting around 10-15 hours, and focuses heavily on its cinematic presentation and narrative. If you prefer games where gameplay is the main focus, this might not be the best choice. However, if you enjoy story-driven experiences, and have access through Xbox Game Pass or are willing to purchase it for $20, it’s available on Xbox Series X and PC.
