With the heat of the sun scorching us during this intense summer, it is necessary to go for a game that suits the season of the year in which we find ourselves. If what you are looking for is relax, enjoy dream landscapes and having no greater claim playing than discovering nature, in Xbox Game Pass there is a very good option.
Specifically that of A Short Hike, the Whippoorwill Limited title that allows us to explore one of the best indies of recent years. You can try it on the Microsoft service through Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S and PC, as well as play with Xbox Cloud Gaming from anywhere if you are an Ultimate level subscriber.
The context is simple: we are a little bird that is in the Picohalcón Provincial Park, a paradisiacal environment which has mountains, lake, beach and all kinds of greenery. We can walk, run, climb and fly among the paths that are already marked or decide to embark on an adventure on our own. There is no imposed rule, we are simply free.
However, in A Short Hike We are not alone, as there are other hikers in the area who will offer us really fun missions and mini-games. There are a wide variety of hidden secrets, so look around the corners to find out. The visual style is absolutely retro, with a pixelated touch that looks great next to Mark Sparling’s original soundtrack and if you want to end the experience, all you have to do is reach the highest peak of the game.
