Xbox Game Pass: 10 Must-Plays You Should Try

7. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

It may be the case that everyone and their mother has played one of the greatest RPGs of the last decade by now; just in case you haven't, however, Xbox Game Pass is on hand to give the player two swords and say "go kill things".

What with the recent Netflix series fresh in our minds, now is a prime time to delve into Andrzej Sapkowski's world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and continue the story of Geralt and Ciri ourselves. The only downside being it's a little harder to eat popcorn or pizza at the same time as spamming Witcher signs at anything that moves. That, and you can't get distracted by Henry Cavill's heaving pectorals.

Even returning players may feel incentivised to venture out into The Continent once more; after all, it costs nothing extra other than the hundreds of hours inevitably lost hunting monsters, playing Gwent, and attempting to beat the game on Death March difficulty. By the time you've finished, season 2 might just be out.

I'm perfectly sane, or so the voices tell me. British, sarcastic, president of the European Slinky Association, have a tendency to lie when listing things about myself. 100% guilty of being a massive geek obsessed with Doctor Who, Harry Potter and video games. If you can't find me on the internet, I'm probably locked in a room playing Spyro the Dragon on my old PlayStation, or blowing everything to smithereens with a concrete donkey on Worms: Armageddon.
