The highlight of this month's Xbox Game Pass games is Monster Hunter Rise, an action role-playing game from Capcom where you do exactly what it says on the tin. The satisfying loop of preparing for a monster and then taking them down to get better gear is endless fun and will give you hours of enjoyment.
Perhaps the most exciting of the selection is Hi-Fi Rush, a brand new title from Tango Gameworks that shadow dropped during the recent Xbox Developer Direct.
Players are expected to explore a vibrant world, where they'll attack enemies and platform to the beat of the music. It's a huge departure from the studio's efforts in making The Evil Within series, but it looks interesting.
