A more recent indie release bundled in the Game Pass, Untitled Goose Game is a gently comedic puzzle game that's well worth picking up for at least a few minutes- though don't be surprised if those minutes turn into hours.

You control a goose in pursuit of a golden bell, discovering the various means of wreaking small-time havoc on unsuspecting humans.

One of the cruellest examples is stealing a boy's glasses and locking him in a telephone box, while a great moment of schadenfreude comes from making two neighbours argue with each other following a series of accidents befitting a Carry On film. There is also a dedicated controller button for honking- if that doesn't sell this game then nothing will. It's bizarre, but it's wonderful.
