Battlefield 1 (Read the test)

You may tell me that Battlefield 1 is starting to date a little out in October 2016.

Plunging us in the middle of the 1st World War, Battlefield 1 offers a unique experience effectively taking up the elements that made the success of the Battlefield series by adding a stunning technical work whether in terms of graphics or sound design. If you missed this pearl, do not hesitate to put your hands on it in the Xbox Game Pass. It’s up to you to discover war stories or dive directly into the horror of the conflicts of the last century.

Rainbow Six Siege (Read the test)

Ubisoft’s tactical shooting game is certainly one of the best examples of successful service games in recent years. With regular updates and new free content every season, the game has found its audience over time. Its accessible gameplay, but demanding if you want to unravel, assures players a big margin of progression to control all the subtleties of the game. If you appreciate the FPS and you haven’t tried it yet, go for it.

Doom Eternal (Read the test)

ID Software again delights the savages of the trigger by offering a more varied, wilder, more intense suite than the 2016 reboot. If he may leave less expert players on the aisle, Doom Eternal will certainly please those wishing to the challenge.

Gears 5 (Read the test)

If the original trilogy was undoubtedly recognized, Gears of War 4, he had divided. Gears 5 intends to correct the shot by being flawless. The contract is almost completed since despite a slight decrease in form in the middle of the campaign, the latter is particularly brilliant. The script, the staging and the gameplay, everything is there. If we add open levels leading to additional missions that have the merit of being satisfactory and rewarding the player, as well as Jack’s support during the fighting, we get a simply essential campaign title ! Add to that a revision of the Horde mode as well as the addition of the leakage mode to improve the many classes offered, without forgetting the multiplayer mode always as nervous, and you get an explosive cocktail !

Tunic is one of the very good surprises in recent months. Expected for 5 years, the little fox well inspired by Zelda was finally released at the end of March with a surprise arrival in the Xbox Game Pass Day One. This 3D adventure game with an isometric view offers a very neat artistic direction and indicates other current adventure games. Indeed, it will be up to you to discover the mechanics of the game and the universe of Tunic by yourself through an intelligent level design and many puzzles that will ask you for patience and reflection. A little gem to discover as soon as possible in the Xbox Game Pass.

Hades is considered the best realization of the supergiant studio and it is rightly so. This unique roguelite will put you in the shoes of Zagreus, the son of Hades, God of hell in Greek mythology. Condemned to live in hell like his father, Zagreus aspires to a better condition. Beautiful, nervous and offering content so substantial that it is almost indecent, it is with exaltation that we give blow for infernal demons without being able to deposit the controller. More than a simple Rogue-like, Hades continues good ideas with brilliance such as his social hub or his multitude of customizable weapons. A nugget to discover without further delay in the Xbox Game Pass.

Stardew Valley (Read the test)

Here is one of the most relaxing games of the Xbox Game Pass, ideal after a long day of work.

Manage your cultures, your fields, your farms, but also your relationships with other villagers. In short, you may quickly fall into Stardew Valley for long hours and that’s all you can wish you.

A PLAGUE TALE: Innocence (Read the test)

In Plague Tale is a very good game. He will be able to move and touch his audience as well as satisfy the most insensitive by the adventure he offers and his gameplay. Admittedly, we can always blame details, but you have to remember above all that the right technical choices have been made to allow to deliver a game of excellent finish, quite long and well rhythmic and with interesting characters, which is all the same relatively rare.

No Man’s Sky (Read the test)

Now offering to go on an adventure with friends, the game allows you to discover an infinity of systems with planets rich in life and resources. It’s up to you to choose on which you will build your bases and make a fortune to buy new vessels and equipment. The game regularly hosts new free content updates.

Elite Dangerous (Read the test)

Elite Dangerous is a unique, demanding, sumptuous, immersive and rich game. Any lover of astronomy or science fiction must have such a gem, as long as he can spend the first hours of play very confusing and that English is not a barrier. It is far too rare to see such a passion on the part of a development studio, and Frontier has proven more than once his desire to take us always further in the stars.

Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order (Read the test)

We could blame Jedi Fallen order for being content to pump the walking game mechanics, in a beautiful packaging. But the title of Respawn is not only a beautiful mouth, because beyond its exemplary realization lies an effective, generous and well-dosed game, which does not fall into the filling by vacuum or in the forced fan service. The height is that he can satisfy both the Starwarsian followers and the heretics of the dark side, as long as his few jeunested jewels forgive him.

The best action games of the Xbox Game Pass

Here is the list of the best action games available in the Xbox Game Pass, enough to keep you going through the essentials of this category.

Hitman Trilogy (Read the test)

Sometimes criticized for their relatively high prices compared to the proposed content, the last three Hitman developed by IO Interactive are no less excellent games and surely the best of their singular genre. Now that the complete trilogy is accessible in the Xbox Game Pass, you no longer have any excuses so as not to put yourself in the shoes of the agent 47. In incredibly worked and detailed environments, you will have to assassinate various targets by helping yourself with incongruous situations, level design and the context of the game. With the complete trilogy, no less than 12 cards are waiting for you and hours of play trying to kill your target in the most subtle or silly way that is.

Trek to yomi

This act of action and combat game all fresh out when arriving day one in the Xbox Game Pass is a pure visual slap. Just for its artistic direction focused on black and white and its Japanese landscapes more beautiful than the other, Trek to Yomi is worth the detour and will offer you real moments of contemplation, especially through sublime changes of plans very inspired by the movie theater. Beyond the visual aspects, you will follow Hiroki, a samurai in search of revenge who will have to face many different enemies throughout. A great discovery to launch without further delay.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy (Read the test)

Games from the Marvel universe have not always been successful, but Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy succeeds in putting you in the shoes of Star Lord. The artistic direction is there, the universe and the Lore Marvel are respected and the narration is really excellent. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a solo game offering exhilarating battles and really engaging action scenes to skimp on the importance of the group. You can indeed exploit the skills of Drax or Rocket in specific situations without taking precedence over the solo gameplay of the game.

ENTER THE GUGENON (Read the test)

Released in 2016, the Roguelike de Devolver Digital is always an excellent title to discover in 2022. With more than 200 weapons of your choice, Enter The Gungeon will immerse you in frantic fights through many different levels and a really successful atmosphere. The many bugs and other micro-freeze on the start have been resolved since. Offering a local cooperative mode, Enter the Gungeon is a good release which is worth the detour, alone or accompanied.

Dishonored 2 (Read the test)

If this Dishonored 2 is a real success, it is above all thanks to the hard and passionate work of the Lyonnais studio. We will retain here a big game, which shines as much by its ambition as its concern for detail. One of those who mark the players as he offers an experience that we want to renew and share with others, just to compare our different approaches. The game knows how to be vicious and devious for those who like to launch challenges, when it remains perfectly accessible to Sunday murderers wishing to let off steam.

RAGE 2

Co-developed by Avalanche Studios and Id Software, the first being behind the Just Cause saga and the other behind Doom, Rage 2 is a clever mix of what the two developers know how to do the best. We thus find the nervous gameplay of the last doom in a crazy and colorful open world. The Apex engine here serves the action and fluidity to provide an incredible apocalyptic shooting game experience.

Resident Evil 7 (Read the test)

For the seventh canonical episode, Resident Evil changes its formula with a first -person view. More terrifying than ever, Resident Evil 7 plunges the player into the shoes of Ethan Winters wishing to find his tender in the house of the Baker. Who says Resident Evil says Arsenal of War. To face the few creatures imagined, the player will arrest a knife, a pistol, a flame thrower. Everything is normal.

The best role -playing games of the Xbox Game Pass

What could be better than a good role -playing game to immerse yourself in a fictitious universe to embark for hours. You should find your happiness in this list of the best role -playing games of the Xbox Game Pass.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition (Read the test)

Mass Effect is a major license in the history of Xbox, having notably experienced its explosion at the time of the Xbox 360. Those who have not had the chance to live this era and to discover this saga can nevertheless console themselves and catch up with Mass Effect Legendary Edition released in 2021 and bringing together the trilogy. The success of this saga is notably due to a narration to the little onions and the history of each game based on your choices and the presence of characters as striking as attractive. Mass Effect Legendary Edition is surely the best way to discover or rediscover this legendary saga.

Pillars of Eternity (Read the test)

Obsidian Entertainment has hit the bull’s eye. This fantasy role -playing game, a spiritual successor to Baldur’s Gate, takes us into the world of Eora (also that of the future Avowed) with a depth that could be expected. If you are looking for a large RPG in a perfectly coherent world and fully subtitled in French, you can go there with your eyes closed and prepare for a few dozen hours of play.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition (Read the test)

We no longer present The Elder Srolls V: Skyrim. The game still received the game of the game of the year in 2011 thanks to its countless qualities. Like any good RPG, the game offers to create a character and choose your class and then immerse yourself in the regions of Bordeciel. Although the main scenario is not very long, the richness of Skyrim lies in all the quests and factions that populate Bordeciel, the specialization of the character in all the existing branches (magic, hand-to-body fight, combat at a distance, alchemy. )). Although the game dates from 2011, a special edition was born on the previous generation to bring it technically up to date and bring the support of mods. The game even runs in 60 fps on Xbox Series X | S.

The Outer Worlds (Read the test)

The Outer Worlds is undoubtedly a good game. Benefiting from the quality of Corrosive writing of Obsidian and a rich universe that can really be impacted by your decisions, the title is to be stored among the best FPS/RPG of the genre. Only, for the regulars of the Fallout and other Elder Scrolls, the recipe is too classic, the defects of AI and of readability too recurring and the news too lean to stand out. We will therefore advise him as a priority to fans who never have enough or to neophytes who would like to discover this type of game in the best way that is.

Wasteland 3 (Read the test)

As a veteran of role -playing games, Inxile Entertainment has been able to deliver a pure RPG in isometric view. There is no question of fighting with swords and magic, but rather of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world completely degenerate. If a technical gap has been crossed since the second opus, Wasteland 3 offers for the first time an experience in cooperation in order to carry out its duty to store in Colorado with a partner. The game offers to create your characters and recruit others, so it is essential to specialize them with a view to covering all the skills required. Wasteland 3 wants to be rather demanding and will speak to experienced players, but does not fail to be very funny and very well written.

Dragon Age Inquisition (Read the test)

It is reassuring to see that Bioware learns from his mistakes. By too much abandoning the role play aspect that had made the success of the first opus for its suite, we did not expect to see a third opus as pleasant arriving. We are still very far from excellence, but it is difficult to sulk the pleasure that Dragon Age Inquisition gives us and its little moments of thanks to the exploration of its generous and sometimes magnificent universe. We get attached to our companions, we vibrate with each fight against a dragon, we gradually wear the heavy burden of our role and we lead this inquisition to victory as best it can.

The best independent games of the Xbox Game Pass

Over the years, independent games have taken a considerable place in the Xbox Game Pass and whatever their genres, you will find some of the best independent games of the service in the list below.

Apacking

If I told you about a game which was to unpack moving boxes, you would surely want to laugh at me in the nose, and rightly so. However, apacking succeeds brilliantly by making this principle trivial and more touching than what one might think at first glance. Through a photo album, you trace the life of a character through his moves, starting from his child’s room, including his student studio to his family home. Room by room, you will have to store the slightest object in the right place and you will quickly discover a meaning and a correlation between each object, at the nearest detail. A very satisfactory game for the organizations and the pros of the organization, but also those wishing to have a good time restful without taking the head.

Townscape

Townscaper is another very simple independent game on form, but with incredible depth. In this game, no specific goal. Just three keys to know, a lot of buildings and a lot of beauty. That’s all. Townscaper is an experimental passionate project allowing you to create a village or a maritime city (or not) using your imagination. More a toy than a video game. Choose colors in the palette, destroy colored house blocks on the irregular gate and look at the underlying algorithm of Townscaper automatically transform these blocks into pretty small houses, arches, stairs, bridges and luxuriant rear cours, according to their configuration.

Darkest Dungeon

Available in the Xbox Game Pass, Darkest Dungeon is an excellent Rogue Like Gothic with mechanics inspired by RPG.

The independent teams of Pillow Castle have undoubtedly completed their blow with Superliminal, a title to discover as quickly as possible in the Xbox Game Pass.

Hollow Knight (Read the test)

Difficult not to be overwhelmed by superlatives by thinking back to Hollow Knight. Almost impossible in any case not to write a love letter in good and due form. Praise, he deserves a package as much for his nervous and precise gameplay as for his level design with small onions. It would even be pure heresy than not to encourage you to fall in love with the atmosphere that it deploys between piano notes and original aesthetic choices. Because it is of these games which have such a special identity that you want to cherish it, to shout on all the roofs how much its difficulty should not be a brake as it is able to leave room for the progression for those persevere a little.

What Remains of Edith Finch (Read the test)

What Remains of Edith Finch is a real success. It has attention in details that makes the house incredibly alive and history steeped in history. His writing quality rivals widely with the staging ideas he shows; There is a great logic between the mechanisms of gameplay deployed and the events told which makes it a particularly successful narrative adventure. If there was only one game of the kind to do, for the price of a cinema session or a blu-ray, it would probably be.

Behind the layer of originality of its concept, Carrion is a rather simplistic metroidvania in addition to being short. Do you have to sulk your pleasure on the pretext that you go far too in circles at times with too few elements to find your way on the end when the start is very linear ? Absolutely not. Just for his atmosphere and the feeling of strength and agility of the monster that we direct, making him majestic, we take a lot of fun with the game. Even if it is short, it also offers enough good ideas to get it out of the share of a kind of game that has continued to be declined and damaged in recent years.

OUTER WILDS

The spatial exploration proposed by Outer Wilds is full of humor and Mobius Digital knew how to offer something new by making you want to go always further thanks to a fairly rich and coherent adventure, all wrapped around a smart story.

Dead Cells (Read the test)
