Maybe only through the cloud stuff with Game Pass Ultimate? When I see it on the website it says I can only install it to an Xbox, and on my computer on the Xbox app it still doesn't

Yeah that makes sense, it's definitely not the easiest or most accessible game out there.
Couple of tips I found really helped, first thing I did was level up my alchemy until I could make the Henry's Fox potion which gives a 50% increase to all exp gained. You need to be level 16 in alchemy to craft it and it takes like 3 potions to gain a level so it was a bit of a grind but using the simplest potion helped.
After that things get better a lot faster, practicing anything makes stuff faster. Next thing I did is overburdened myself and just ran everywhere. It was slow but running while overburdened increases strength and vitality, and with the 50% increase it went up pretty darn fast.
Basically like farming in a Dark Souls game. Just perform repetitive tasks to level up fast and make the game easier. I'm on it.
Started Ghost of Tsushima for the second time and was really enjoying it. Then side tracked to Iki Island and its turned into a slog. Just so many unnecessary hidden location tasks and fetch quests. And while I enjoyed the mix of combat, stealth, and then calm side quests during the main quest, it just feels painful in the DLC. Playing the flute for like 10 animal sanctuaries? Endless cliffs and climbing mechanics? Then one huge mountain you have to climb to the top of just to play a flute for a damn monkey?? No thanks.
They seemed to have gone overboard with this stuff for the DLC which has me a bit worried for Ghost of Mt. Yotei.
I sort of feel the same about Spider-Man 2. I think a lot of the new features and the story are cool, but I'm also left thinking that whoever at Insomniac thought "You know what the people want? More MJ missions!" should be pushed out a window.

One thing to keep in mind is that expansion DLC like that usually isn't made entirely by the main team, most of the lead creatives had probably already moved into planning / pre-production for Yotei.
But Sony's other big sequels this gen have definitely suffered from a "more of the same" issue, where we're getting technically bigger/"better" games but not actually doing anything new or interesting and not making meaningful improvements on the previous games (God of War, Spiderman, and Horizon all felt this). I'm hoping Ghost of Yotei isn't next, I really love Ghost of Tsushima, but we'll see...
I don’t really mind “more of the same” to be honest. If Ghost of Tsushima was twice as long I would’ve have enjoyed it just as much. So of Yotei is just more of the same with a slightly different story and a few tweaks I’m going to enjoy that, too.
I also like games with a good mix of mindless side quests and filler to go with a fun main story. Sometimes I want to jump into a game and be able to decide whether I want to tackle an actual mission or just grind away in the environment for an hour.
Finished Prince of Persia last night. I could have completed the story a few weeks ago, but I have two platforming tasks I am *SO CLOSE* to beating to unlock a platinum trophy I can just taste it.

Never tried 2 after they tricked me with the Miles Morales extended DLC they pretended was a stand alone game. Waiting for it to drop under $30
