Top Xbox Game Pass Indie Games (Part I)
Today, Xbox Game Pass is the home of indie games. Every month, Microsoft adds several independent games to this, some of which even come to this service on Day One. Therefore, you can find dozens of high-quality games on Game Pass. On the other hand, Microsoft has smaller studios that also make AA games. Games that do not require huge budgets and high sales but have acceptable quality. For these reasons, it is not possible to include all the high-quality indie games of this service in one article. So we will introduce the top of such games to you in a few parts.
Limbo
Limbo is a short platformer game. At the same time very engaging and attractive. The game was released on the Xbox 360 console. In this title, you play the role of a boy who is looking for his lost one in the world of limbo. The game starts without any explanation, but it is so intelligently designed that you automatically learn the controls and rules of it. Very smooth and almost perfect gameplay and unique silhouette art design are positive features of Limbo. So far, many have tried to produce something similar to this game, but still, it is Limbo itself that shines.
Outer Wilds
Outer Wilds is a unique space game with incredible mechanics. You control an alien that goes into space, but everything ends in a disaster, and you get stuck in a time loop. Your main goal is to escape this repetitive cycle. This sci-fi game emphasizes both exploration and puzzle solving as well as trying to survive. Maybe the 3D graphics of the game will not attract you much at first, but when you step into space and explore the solar system, the game will be attractive from a visual point of view. Be sure to experience this game on your Xbox.
Hades
A roguelike fantasy game about ancient Greek mythologies which tells an epic story in this context. Because of this genre, you should expect numerous failures and return to the starting point. But the battle system is so engaging and rhythmic that makes you ready to hit your enemies again and again. These fights are also accompanied by exciting metal music tracks so you can enjoy every moment of your presence in the game. Hades has won many awards and honors, which shows its high quality.
HITMAN TRILOGY
You may not believe it, but now Hitman games are considered independent. Some people think independent games must have simpler visuals, but the truth is that Hitman has very good 3D graphics. Almost everyone knows Hitman. It has been several years since the developer of this series separated from Square Enix and has been making and publishing Hitman games independently. A few months ago, the HITMAN Trilogy was placed on the Xbox Game Pass service so that fans of this bald killer can experience his adventures on Xbox platforms. Of course, the game has a series of add-on packages you must purchase separately.
No Man’s Sky
No Man’s Sky is another sci-fi game you can find on Xbox Game Pass. This game has a history full of ups and downs. A title first came as an exclusive for PlayStation 4, but it was so incomplete that everyone was upset with it. But the developers were committed to their work by releasing numerous free updates, so they turned it into a game with a lot of content. You can have fun for months in the infinitely large galaxy of No Man’s Sky.
