    Is the problem that you have Game Pass and feel like you have to get your money's worth by playing them all?
    Try the old school way instead: cancel your game pass sub, and just buy good games.

    Game Pass is a great way to find good games or more games you enjoy, there's been plenty games I've bought that have been a waste of money and there's also been a number of games I've found through Game Pass and really enjoyed.  

    It's hard to make any recommendations what to get started with without knowing you what you like, I'd just fire into games you like the look of and just move on if you're not that fussed when you play them or if you enjoy them then get stuck in.

    Watch previews on sites like Steam, Epic and others. PC and Xbox share many titles nowadays , but PC games are cheaper.
