In the Xbox Game Pass catalogue, productions regularly appear that can easily be overlooked among the big releases. This time it’s worth paying attention to three titles that offer something more than just a “filler” in the library. Each of them represents a different style of gameplay, but all have a strong atmosphere and good player reviews. If you’re looking for something fresh for a few evenings, these games might positively surprise you.
Still Wakes the Deep
A narrative horror set on an oil rig in the North Sea. The game focuses on atmosphere, tension, and an intense experience rather than combat. It's a short but very densely plotted adventure that can keep you on edge from start to finish.
Lies of P
A dark reinterpretation of the Pinocchio story in a soulslike format. Dynamic battles, a challenging combat system, and excellent enemy design make this one of the strongest action games available on the service. If you enjoy challenges in the style of Dark Souls, you'll feel right at home here.
Cocoon
A minimalist, logical adventure from the creator of Limbo and Inside. The game is based on a unique concept of manipulating worlds within a world, which translates into very creative puzzles. No dialogue, no excess hints – pure, thoughtful gameplay.
Game Pass isn't just about big AAA releases. "Still Wakes the Deep" provides an intense atmosphere, "Lies of P" offers challenging action, and "Cocoon" impresses with its concept and minimalism. Three different styles, three strong propositions for the upcoming evenings.
