10 Best Console Games On Xbox Game Pass Right Now

Fable is an odd series in many ways, but an especially important one is how well the games hold up, particularly now that they can be experienced without the distraction of Peter Molyneux overpromising. Fable II is the highlight of a franchise that finds itself now about to be rebooted for the next generation.

You play a hero setting out to avenge the death of your sister, who was murdered by Lord Lucien in childhood. Beyond that, you adventure in the now colonial/enlightenment era Albion, written with Python-esque charm, and presented in the series' typical colourful style. More to the point, Fable II still plays well, with excellent exploration and combat. It doesn't take very long to fall in love with Fable II.

Especially to those coming across the series for the first time on Game Pass, the self-contained nature of each entry allows gamers to jump in and get a taste of Fable II, without worrying about continuity, and with number two being the stand out of the trilogy, there's no better time and way to acquaint yourself prior to the new entry coming soon.
