Playing beachstickball ultimately gives you nothing, but it’s a fun diversion from your journey. How many times have you ignored a main questline in order to explore a new area or talk to an interesting character or collect just one more ability upgrade? A Short Hike is the sweetest love letter to this style of playing a video game. Though its visuals are exceedingly simple, and the premise is straightforward, A Short Hike does a fantastic job of highlighting the enjoyment we derive from going off the beaten path. But to do so would do the game a great disservice. Starfield is a fantastic game, and one of the best you can play on Xbox Game Pass.Ī Short Hike is one of the shortest games you can play on Xbox Game Pass, clocking in at about two hours, and that’s being generous if you decide to beeline toward the top of Hawk Peak (the overall objective of the game). You can then spend hours surveying planets, becoming a seedy seller of contraband, building glorious outposts, hunting down space bounties, or doing just darn near anything your space-faring heart desires.
Once you set upon this adventure, the world, nay, the universe opens up to you. You take on the role of a miner soon to be a willing or unwilling explorer, depending on how you role-play your character. It’s exactly the kind of game you can spend years sinking your time into, a true successor to the might of Skyrim. It’s filled with the dense exploration and well-thought-out storylines many have appreciated from the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series in the past. But Xbox Game Pass subscribers should be thrilled to know that Starfield is an utter joy. The anticipation for Starfield prior to its release was immense, and the weight of expectations from fans eager for Bethesda’s latest RPG must have caused more pressure than performing a space walk without a suit.
