Microsoft's premier subscription service added multiple day-one games this month, including Dune: Spice Wars and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. Allowing Cloud gaming with the ability to play on a PC, smartphone, or certain smart TVs, Game Pass has quickly become the industry leader for subscription services. In recent years, Games With Gold has been losing ground to its more popular, more expansive younger sibling, Xbox Game Pass. Action-thriller Dead End Job can be downloaded through December 15th. The real-time tactical strategy game Praetorians HD Remaster is available until the end of the month. The November Games With Gold are still available for a limited time. Bladed Fury, like Colt Canyon, enjoys a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam, though the hack'n'slash title is significantly more popular, with almost 3,000 reviews.

While short with a reported 3-4 hour campaign, stylish action romps can be fun for a cold winter's day. A mix of hack'n'slash with platforming elements, Bladed Fury is described by fans as reminiscent of Vanillaware titles, such as Dragon's Crown. Bladed Fury, the other recently revealed free download, is a 2D action game set in ancient China with a gorgeous art style influenced by Chinese mythology.
