Xbox Game Pass is one of the best deals available, offering some of the biggest games on the market for an affordable, fixed monthly price. From Doom Eternal and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to The Outer Worlds and Gears 5, the list of blockbuster experiences on the service is substantial, ensuring players get a lot of bang for their buck.
However, with new games joining the service all the time, Xbox Game Pass does have to make some room for fresh experiences. Microsoft has just announced four more games that will be leaving the service on November 17: Darksiders 3, The Talos Principle, Munchkin: Quacked Quest, and Tracks - The Train Set Game.
Arguably the biggest of the bunch is Darksiders 3, the third entry in the notorious hack-and-slash action series. Although it wasn't the best-received iteration of the franchise - sitting at a 64 on Metacritic - Darksiders 3 was seen as a flawed game with strong moments. It saw players assume the role of Fury, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, tasked with hunting down the personifications of the Seven Deadly Sins. It experimented with the trilogy's various gameplay systems, opting for a new Metroidvania structure and including elements inspired by FromSoftware's Dark Souls series.
Meanwhile, The Talos Principle is a well-regarded puzzle game, seeing players take on the role of an advanced AI as it ventures through a range of environments. It deals with some notable philosophical queries along the way, making for a combination of complex puzzles and an equally head-scratching story. The game managed to score an 85 on Metacritic, with a number of publications posting strong reviews about the title.
Munchkin: Quacked Quest, on the other hand, is a card game set within a comedic fantasy world. The title was based on the card game by Steve Jackson, adapting the seminal physical experience into one playable in a virtual landscape. It was ultimately received poorly, but players who want to give it a go have until November 17 to try it out for themselves.
Finally, Tracks - The Train Set Game, is pretty much what it says on the tin. It allows players to build a series of intricate toy train tracks, transport commuters, and even ride their creations in first-person. Tracks - The Train Set Game, Munchkin: Quacked Quest, The Talos Principle, and Darksiders 3 will still be available for two more weeks, so Game Pass fans who want to experience any of the four games still have time to get stuck in.
