Xbox’s free game, known as Avatar: Resurrection is hard to put down – fans agree.
One of the newest free Xbox games is an irresistibly charming delight that fans found hard to put down – instantly captivating them on an epic journey! Fans have fallen deeply for it since release.
Xbox Game Pass offers hundreds of free titles that are regularly being added, which makes deciding what games to play a bit of a difficult decision. Personally, I spent too much time browsing my Game Pass library on Xbox Series X without actually choosing anything to play!
One of the recent titles to join Xbox Game Pass that I can wholeheartedly endorse is one I played already on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5; so much so, in fact, that I plan to give it another go on Xbox.
Adam Robinson-Yu’s A Short Hike is the epitome of short and sweet gaming: you must trek your way up an extinct volcano so your mobile will get reception again. Its mini open world format offers players plenty of challenge as you attempt to reach its summit for maximum reception on mobile phone reception.
How you reach the summit is entirely your decision. Golden Feathers provide boosts in stamina and climbing ability that allow for easy ascension of some of the sheerer cliff faces higher up, so collecting these feathers becomes much simpler. They may be found scattered about, or earned through engaging in fun quests with some of the island’s residents such as racing around on boats around them or collecting coins on beaches to pay back off student loan balances faster!
A Short Hike offers exploration and light puzzle-solving mixed with natural dialogue and beautiful pixellated aesthetic, similar to The Legend Of Zelda or Animal Crossing – making this game perfect as a Game Pass freebie! Beating A Short Hike should take only several hours; making this freebie the ideal addition for game pass subscribers!
“Had a relaxing, exciting game last night – very relaxing with lots of exploration!” wrote one Reddit user on Xbox Series X subreddit.
“Yup I couldn’t put the book down once i started reading last night!” agreed another.
A Short Hike can easily be completed in one sitting, yet there are numerous secrets and extras waiting to be unlocked after credits roll. I cannot recommend it enough! And if A Short Hike whetted your appetite for indie mountain climbing games, check out another gem: Cloud Crawler.
