Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is a dark and mature game that depicts what it’s like to have psychosis. It’s a compelling story, and Ninja Theory depicts it with industry-leading Unreal Engine 5 visuals and top-class sound design. Make sure you play Hellblade 2 with headphones on.
Hellblade 2 is a linear narrative experience that takes around seven hours to complete, so it’s definitely something anyone can beat over the course of this extended holiday weekend.
Little Kitty, Big City
Little Kitty, Big City is the gaming tonal opposite of Hellblade 2. It’s a cute and charming indie game from Double Dagger Studio that launched into Xbox Game Pass on May 9. As its title suggests, you’re a cute cat who gets lost in a big city after falling off the windowsill that they are sleeping on. From there, an adventure reminiscent Untitled Goose Game plays out as the cat completes tasks, oftentimes messing with people, as they search for their way back home.
Little Kitty, Big City can be beaten in around three hours as well, so it’s yet another game that you’ll most likely be able to beat over Memorial Day weekend.
Pac-Man Museum+
Pac-Man Museum+ is a collection of classic Pac-Man games that is leaving Xbox Game Pass at the end of the month. You’ve almost certainly heard of or played a Pac-Man game before, and this collection bundles many of its greatest arcade hits into one place. The original Pac-Man, Super Pac-Man, Pac & Pal, Pac-Land, Pac-Mania, Pac-Attack, Pac-In-Time, Pac-Man Arrangement, Pac-Man Championship Edition, Pac-Motos, Pac ‘n Roll Remix, Pac-Man Battle Royale, and Pac-Man 256 are all included here.
Pac-Man Museum+ also presents all these classics in a novel way. They are all placed in an arcade museum, and it’s possible to earn coins by playing them. These coins can then be spent on collectibles and furniture items that further customize the museum.
This is the best way to play Pac-Man on modern gaming platforms. The PC and Xbox One versions of Pac-Man Museum+ will be included in the Xbox Game Pass catalog until May 31. After that, you’ll have to buy the game on those platforms, PS4, or Nintendo Switch.
