Xbox Game Pass: 10 Essential 360 & Xbox Games You Must Play

10. Dante's Inferno

God of War it ain't, try as it might, but that doesn't mean this decidedly idiosyncratic retailing of the Divine Comedy isn't fun to play.

If you're looking for a horror-inflected action adventure title, Dante's Inferno is a nice find for a Game Pass subscriber.

Taking inspiration from Dante Alighieri's 14th century epic poem (and awfully loose inspiration at that), you play as a Templar who is guided by the spirit of the ancient Roman poet Virgil through the nine circle of Hell, fighting to save your love Beatrice from the clutches of Lucifer.

To be honest, that descriptions alone should sell it, as well as the similarities to the early God of War titles in terms of gameplay and mechanics. You get that familiar and engaging feeling from the gameplay, with an interesting and really well designed series of enemies and levels.

All in all, Dante's Inferno is perfect for scratching that sort of dungeon crawling come hack and slash itch you might have and is one of the top tier backwards compatible titles on Game Pass.
