Xbox Games with Gold is a paid monthly subscription that allows active members to download Xbox 360 and Xbox One games for free. The official Xbox One website has now revealed the four games that subscribers can get for the month of November, which includes some classics like "The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition."
From Nov. 1 to Nov. 30 Xbox One gamers will be able to download "Super Dungeon Bros." for free. It is noted that this is a brand new game launching in November. This is not the only instance Xbox Games with Gold had been used to help boost a game's launch as "Earthlock: Festival of Magic" was launched in the same way.
While the game is going to be free for Xbox One users with a subscription, it is also available on the PS4 and on PC via Steam. For those platforms "Super Dungeon Bros." is not free, and according to Game Rant, the suggested retail price is around $20.
The second Xbox One game, "Murdered: Soul Suspect," is going to be available for download starting Nov. 16 until Nov. 30. The game received a lukewarm reception due to its short length and combat mechanics, it but was praised for its story, characters, and pacing. In the game, players take control of a person's ghost, and they must investigate who killed them and why they were killed.
It should be noted that "The Escapists," another Xbox One game, is still available as a free download until Nov. 15. It was offered since Oct. 16.
As for Xbox 360 gamers, they will be able to get "The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition" from Nov. 1 to Nov. 15. This is an HD remaster of the original point-and-click adventure game, and it comes with full voice-acting and a cleaner, more user-friendly UI.
From Nov. 16 to Nov. 30 Xbox 360 users can then download "Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon." Unlike other games in the series, the third main entry is set in a cyberpunk world where the player can go up against strange cyborgs and mutant creatures. Many fans view it as a video game inspired by science fiction films from the 1980s.
Both Xbox 360 games are also playable on the Xbox One thanks to the Xbox One Backward Compatibility feature.
