The end of a month often means the latest surprise additions to the Xbox Game PassAnd Microsoft is no exception to the rule on November 25. Two titles just added to the catalog enrich the offer, each in a very different but perfectly complementary register. On the one hand, Banishers: Ghosts of New Edena harrowing adventure through haunted colonial America. On the other, Kill It With Fire! 2a hilarious romp where interdimensional spiders must be pulverized with rocket launchers. Yes, seriously.
These two games, available depending on the platform via Xbox Series, Xbox One, PC And Cloudare included at no additional cost to subscribers Ultimate, Premium And PC Game Pass. A good plan not to be missed to end the month in style.
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden – love, ghosts and moral dilemmas
In a reimagined 1695, the hostile lands of New Eden serve as the backdrop to a love story shattered by death. Red mac Raith And Antea Duarte are what we call “Banishers”: spirit hunters in the service of the living. But after a mission that turns into a tragedy, Antea dies… and returns as a ghost.
The heart of the game rests on this unbalanced duo. Red is still alive, Antea is now on the other side. Together, they continue their quest in villages haunted by regrets, secrets and tormented entities. The player alternates between Red’s sword and Antea’s spectral abilities to progress, help the inhabitants and above all… make difficult decisions.
With his neat natural decorationsits dense narration and his impactful moral choicesBanishers offers an immersive experience halfway between RPG and narrative game. A great success, especially for a title available at no additional cost now via Game Pass.
Kill It With Fire! 2 – spiders, chaos and gadgets everywhere
If the heavy atmosphere of Banishers isn’t your cup of tea, you can always opt for something much more… explosive. Kill It With Fire! 2 does not seek to tell a big story: it drops you into varied environments with a single mission – kill all the spiders. And not discreetly.
The game takes the crazy bases of the first part, but pushes the cursor even further. Players can:
- Explore the campaign solo or four player co-op
- Participate in clashes PvP between humans and spiders
- Use a forty weapons and gadgetsfrom lightsaber to trapped toaster
It’s the typical experiment that you run to laugh, scream, and forget logic for a few hours. And this is precisely what makes it charming: unabashed absurd humor, mechanics of total destruction, and a refreshing freedom of tone.
The right timing to take advantage of it
With December approaching, the next Xbox Game Pass announcements should not be long. But for gamers who are impatient or looking for a new game to launch this weekend, Banishers And Kill It With Fire! 2 constitute two solid additions, perfectly opposed but equally attractive.
Whether you’re a fan of poignant stories in haunted worlds or prefer to pulverize spiders with flamethrowers, Game Pass offers a great conclusion to this month of November. And as always: just one click to try.
