Halo Wars 2 and Rime headline, in my opinion
Xbox Game Pass just keep growing.Xbox’s take on a games on demand subscription servicehas upped its library consistently ever since its May 2017 debut. Come February, we’re getting a few new titles that are worth keeping an eye on.
The biggest first-party name being added to Xbox Game Pass next month isHalo Wars 2. TheHalouniverse real-time strategy game is less than a year old, meaning that it’s on the newer end for a non-annualized series.In our review, Chris thoughtHalo Wars 2was a simple and polished RTS for consoles.
That’s just one of February’s eight additions, though. Chilled-out environmental puzzlerRimeis also making an appearance. So isFable Anniversary, an Xbox 360 trilogy of the original threeFablegames (and available through Xbox One backward compatibility); that goes nicely withtoday’s news that there’s apparently anotherFablebeing developed by theForza Horizonstudio.
Rounding out the month areNBA 2K17,WWE 2K17,Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition,Riptide Renegade GP, andLetter Quest: Grimm’s Journey. A lot of big names and variation this month. Xbox Game Pass’ portfolio keeps getting stronger and stronger.
