If you’ve been wondering what’s next for Xbox Game Pass on PC, Microsoft has the answer in the form of three new titles heading to the subscription service soon – and they’re all good ‘uns, taking the form of A Plague Tale: Innocence, Gris, and Children of Morta.
First up is developer Asobo Studios’ stealthy third-person action-adventure, A Plague Tale. Released last year to positive reviews, it offers a bleak, but frequently gorgeous, jaunt through 14th century France, as players – in the role of nobleman’s daughter Amicia de Rune – attempt to protect sickly younger sibling Hugo from the grip of the Inquisition.
Its stealth might be a little so-so, but the inventive puzzling – often based around manipulating the hordes of diseased rats ravaging the countryside – is much smarter, and considerably more enjoyable. All in all, it’s a strong (if sometimes silly) story-driven adventure, with a cast of engaging, wonderfully realised characters and some frequently breathtaking historical sights. It’d frankly be rude not to give it a go when it comes to Game Pass.
