In the Xbox Game Pass catalog, productions regularly appear that are easy to overlook among major releases. This time, it's worth paying attention to three titles that offer more than just a "filler" in the library. Each of them represents a different gameplay style, but all have a strong atmosphere and good player reviews. If you're looking for something fresh for a few evenings, these games might pleasantly surprise you.

Still Wakes the Deep

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 dense adventure that can keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

Lies of P

A dark reinterpretation of the story of Pinocchio in a soulslike format. Dynamic battles, a challenging combat system, and great enemy design make it one of the strongest action games available in 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 idea of manipulating worlds within a world, which translates into very creative puzzles. No dialogues, no excessive hints – pure, thoughtful gameplay.

Game Pass is not 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 options for the upcoming evenings.
