Xbox Free Play Weekend Has Stunning RPG, Four Other Games on Top

As part of another Xbox Free Play Weekend, users can get their hands on another batch of exciting games with one stunning RPG leading the charge.

Giving Xbox users the chance to get their hands on some free games for a limited time, the Xbox Free Play event is back and this time it brings some big titles with it.

Available from now until 30 November, all five of the upcoming titles are free to download and try out and if you like what you see, many of them feature heavy discounts so you can grab the full game after the event has come to an end.

Additionally, any saved progress will be carried over to the full game if you choose to do this.

So which games are up for grabs courtesy of Xbox?

Perhaps most exciting is The First Berserker: Khazan, a hardcore action RPG with soulslike elements.

Developed by Neople and released back in March, The First Berserker: Khazan tells the story of Khazan, the great general of Pell Los Empire who once overcame death and now plans to uncover the incidents which led to his demise as well as seek vengeance on his enemies.

Our very own Dan Lipscombe was lucky enough to play The First Berserker: Khazan back in March and called it “the hardest soulslike I’ve ever played”.

Challenging Yet Rewarding

“I can’t, in good conscience, give a review score to The First Berserker: Khazan, because I’ve not experienced enough of the game.

However, I can’t also let the game go without a recommendation, because, were I better at parrying and dodging, I’d find very few faults here and heartily say that fans of soulslikes could very well end up with a new favourite game.

“I can’t fault the mechanics; I can’t fault the voice acting, or the story; I can’t fault the combat or level design; I can only lay fault with myself for simply not being able to get good enough to see this adventure through to its end point,” his review read.

So if you want some challenging combat, an intriguing story and beautiful visuals, you will want to check out The First Berserker: Khazan this weekend.

Alongside this soulslike, four other titles are up for grabs.

This includes co-op dungeon crawler Hammerwatch 2, zoo-building sim Let’s Build a Zoo, 90’s internet simulator Hypnospace Outlaw, and last but not least, co-op platformer Biped 2.

You have until 30 November to download and try out this batch of exciting games and do not forget to check out any discounts which follow.
