Xbox’s free new game is hard to stop playing, say fans
According to Xbox fans, one of their latest games is a delightful jewel that they can’t put down.
There are hundreds of Xbox Game Pass titles available, and new ones will be added every day. The difficulty of keeping up to date with the latest games and their features can make it difficult to decide what you should play. It’s true that I have spent many hours scrolling through my Xbox Series 8 Game Pass Library, but never actually purchasing a game.
After playing it both on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 I highly recommend this game. The game is so great, I will definitely be playing it again on Xbox.
A Short Hike, developed by Adam Robinson Yu, is the definition of a short. You’re given the task of reaching the summit of a hill to get mobile reception.
It’s up to you how you reach the summit of the mountain. Collecting Golden Feathers will increase your climbing abilities and stamina, making it easier to climb the steeper cliffs higher up. You can find these Feathers scattered throughout the world or earn them by completing fun missions with the residents of the island. Spend ten minutes on a race around the island or search the beach for coins to pay off the student loans of a particular character.
A Short Hike blends light exploration, puzzle-solving, and natural dialogue with a beautiful pixellated look. This is a mix of The Legend Of Zelda with Animal Crossing. It can be completed in a few hours and makes a great Game Pass freebie.
Reddit user enthused about his Xbox Series X experience.
One person said: “Yeah, I could not put it down once I began.”
You can easily inhale A Short Hikein a single sitting. However, there are many secrets and bonus features to be discovered if you decide to revisit the game after the credits have rolled. This game is a must-have. If after A Short Hikeyou is still interested in independent games that involve climbing mountains, I have another great suggestion for you.
