The Xbox Game Pass offers a regularly expanded and updated catalog, with more than 200 titles of all genres and all audiences. But, like other music services, SVOD, etc., this offer can easily make you dizzy because there are so many games. The list is not necessarily well organized and is limited to "genres". This is why we had the idea to offer you different items and to highlight only the cream of the Xbox Game Pass catalog. These lists are mainly used for quick access for those who do not necessarily want to try everything, for lack of time or simply because of a too low internet speed.
The 10 Best AAA Solo Games in the Xbox Game Pass
This article is devoted to AAA games playable alone, offering an unforgettable adventure for lovers of blockbusters combining sensory spectacle and effective gameplay. Note that this list is not a ranking or a top 10, it is simply the 10 "essentials" to try urgently. The list may be updated in the future based on inputs and outputs from the Xbox Game Pass.
1.Red Dead Redemption 2
Few open world video games offer attention to detail and consistency as advanced as in the last title from Rockstar. Yes, Red Dead Redemption 2 can keep you amazed for hours and hours without performing any mission. And yet, even if the feeling of freedom has reached its climax, it would be a shame to miss out on history. In short, the best of Rockstar so far.
2.Halo: The Master Chief Collection
Halo certainly has the most complete remastered compilation to date with the arrival of Halo Reach. Each episode is offered in 4K / 60 fps / HDR for a very pleasant rendering even for demanding eyes. If you land on Xbox, this is the game to do first. Note that all the other episodes are also available in the Xbox Game Pass. With Halo alone, you get months of fun.
3.Dishonored 2
Knowing by heart the old adventures of Corvo Atano is not essential to appreciate this suite, Dishonored 2 is naturally in our list. The universe created by the Lyon studio Arkane is a real example to follow in many areas. Dishonored 2 can also boast of offering one of the most beautiful artistic directions of the last 10 years.
4.Gears 5
The last episode of the Gears of War saga showed the world that The Coalition was not there to laugh. Gears 5 has all the big AAA well muscled and accumulates the moments of bravery as those of wonder in front of this technological showcase. The complete series is of course available and in good quality. Like Halo, Gears of War is a true institution on Xbox and must be played, if only for the cult replicas of its characters.
5.Mass effect
This game will not explode your retinas or bring you unique throttle sensations. But Mass Effect is a science fiction epic that has become cult thanks to its history, its background, its gallery of characters and its score. We look forward to an "Xbox One Enhanced" update for him and the rest of the trilogy.
6.Quantum Break
Solo video game and Remedy are always a pair, and Quantum Break is no exception to the rule. Here, storytelling and gameplay do wonders with the theme of time travel. The game is accompanied by a television mini-series that punctuates each mission, with multiple choices that can change the course of history.
7.Rise of the Tomb Raider
Among the 3 new adventures of Lara Croft, the episode "Rise" is undoubtedly the most successful with an impeccable rhythm and a level design making you want to explore. The complete trilogy is also available in the offer with the first remastered episode.
8.Alien Isolation
Few cinematic adaptations to video games as striking as Alien Isolation. True tribute to the first film (Alien: the 8th passenger), the game invites you to embody the daughter of Ripley for a gripping adventure from start to finish and radically immersive. The French dubbing is not to be outdone and is very well interpreted by the different actors, in short it feels like in the Nostromo.
9.Metal Gear V: The Phantom Pain
Last production of Hideo Kojima before leaving Konami, the last adventure of Snake was not unanimous. But in the end, no Metal Gear did it! The Phantom Pain offers us so much between infiltration, tactical assault, management of a military base and high-flying cutscenes that it becomes essential to try it out until you can judge it. Also note that the HD compilation bringing together episodes 2 and 3 is also on offer.
10.The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
A true reference in role-playing, The Witcher 3 can keep you going for dozens and dozens of hours without ever running out of steam. The quality of writing and side quests reaches a level too rarely reached in video games. Nothing also prevents you from frolicking on horseback in the wind to enjoy the magnificent environments and sublime music. Here is the perfect game to close our list.
