Ashen
One of the Xbox-exclusive that comes on Xbox Game Pass right on the day of its release date and you won't want to miss it. This one is a co-op action RPG set in an open world that you can play solo or in a passive co-operative multiplayer.
Although based on a Dark Souls type of gameplay mechanics, it doesn't get that brutal in every corner but sure to astound you anyway. Players enter in a world where there is no sun and fights all sorts of in-world monsters to get to home.

Just like the namesake suggests, the game takes you to a journey into a series of subterranean mazes, where the player character encounters cunning enemies and death-traps while constantly on chase from an unknown shadowy entity.
Below is a perfect throwback to the playing from arcade days on a highly detailed retro-style background. Capybara Games did a fantastic job to cram down all of it into one and devised a mechanism that punishes you for foolishly reckless attitude and challenges you in almost every step as you progress.

Shadow Warrior 2
Another not-so-recent game joining the lineup, which is a first-person shooter title or to be more specific, an FPS melee combat experience that lets you wield guns and blades to go up against hordes of evil as Lo Wang, a ninja assassin protagonist.

Even in the category of simulation games, off-roading is a less ventured section but this one is worth your time as it sends you to various extreme landscapes with 19 different sorts of formidable, all-terrain vehicles that actually don't defy physics like other games do in general.
Though sim games don't always excite a large number of audiences except for the fan-base of the genre, developer Saber Interactive actually made sure that you at least give the title a shot for what it is, or that is what we are led to believe.
