Xbox Game Pass: 10 Must-Plays You Should Try

2. Untitled Goose Game

Ever wondered what life as a goose would be like? Of course you haven't. This beautifully presented gem answers a question considered by nobody whilst simultaneously being a game which should be played by everybody.

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.

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.
