Halo: Master Chief Collection
The Xbox gaming experience is all about Halo. The series has been around since the early days of the console, and with each new game, players can expect to be entertained for hours on end. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just starting out, there’s no doubt that Halo is one of the most popular gaming franchises on the market today.
The Master Chief Collection includes all of the Halo games, even Halo Reach. If you’re a fan of the series, this is your chance to play them again on fully populated multiplayer servers.
Halo is a series that has left a huge mark on gaming history. With its tight mouse aiming and improved graphics, Halo is an attractive game that is more beautiful than ever before. ..
Hollow Knight
This game is a mix of tight platforming, gorgeous graphics, and punishing difficulty that will challenge even the most experienced gamer. It’s a must-play for any Metroidvania fan.
Before giving Hollow Knight a spin, be sure to connect a controller to your PC. Trying to play the game with a mouse and keyboard is simply torture. ..
The Hollow Knight is a beautiful, world-building game that will take some time to complete. However, there are DLC and a New Game+ mode that provide even greater challenge.
The Outer Worlds
Fallout 76 should have been a sci-fi game with a retro-futuristic twist. Developed by Obsidian, The Outer Worlds has the same control scheme and feel as the Fallout games you know and love, but in a steampunk/retro-futuristic setting.
The game’s feel gives off strong Firefly vibes. You captain a ship and hop between multiple planets, completing quests and leveling up as you go. The characters onboard your ship feel real and the choices feel like they have weight.
If you’re looking for a new Fallout-like game to play, The Outer Worlds Xbox PC Game Pass title is a great option. It’s easily the best game released in 2019 and is well worth a playthrough.
Frostpunk
Frostpunk is a tough game. It’s bleak and addictive. It’s a cross between a survival simulator and Sim City. You manage a group of settlers in a new ice age. ..
In Frostpunk, players must manage the warmth, hunger, happiness, and more of their settlers in order to keep them alive. Some choices will result in the deaths of your settlers, but which one is worth it? ..
Frostpunk is a dark and cold game that will keep you coming back time and time again. ..
Slay the Spire
Slay the Spire is a unique roguelike that will keep you glued to the screen for hours at a time. The simple gameplay mechanic of pushing through the tower as far as you can and starting from scratch when you fall is more addicting than you expect.
The Spire is a fortress composed of multiple levels and packed with a variety of horrible dangers. You start out as The Ironclad, the first of four potential characters. Each character can level up five times, and each level up comes with new cards to aid you on your quest.
The only progress that carries over between runs is the cards you unlock. You also unlock Relics, items that give you permanent abilities on your runs. There are multiple gameplay modes and a “challenge” mode that gives you unique conditions, including potential curses.
Age of Wonders: Planetfall
Planetfall is a great 4X turn-based strategy game that features six different factions all vying for control and victory. ..
You must use your cunning and strategy to survive as the commander of one of these factions on a procedurally-generated planet. The game takes place on a hex-like grid, where the planet is broken down into different “sectors,” each of which yields two separate resources. You must use your cunning and strategy to survive as the commander of one of these factions and claim victory over other factions on the surface.
The game has a loose storyline, but the real appeal lies in the real-time strategy action. The game can be played on the Xbox One console, but is best experienced on PC where the mouse gives better control of the units. ..
There is a steep learning curve associated with Age of Wonders: Planetfall, but once you get the hang of it the game yields a tremendous amount of enjoyment. ..
Xbox One gamers can now enjoy a variety of games in the Xbox Game Pass library, including some of their favorite titles. With over 100 games available, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Let us know in the comments below what your favorite game is in the Xbox Game Pass library.
