Halo: The Master Chief Collection – Halo: Reach
It’s no secret that the saga Halo It has been one of the most important pillars of Xbox since its birth in 2001. Those who couldn’t play it at that time You may feel like they are too old and you may not have even read the plot of some parts. We understand you, it’s normal that you bet now Halo: Combat Evolved and you become very bored, the story is too slow or the pacing is inadequate, and you don’t connect with any of the characters in the game.
I recommend the first three Halo It’s difficult today, the context and concept of video games was different back then. Halo came to change the situation and make history, but having played almost every other first-person shooterit’s normal to see seams Halo and I feel that this work is much worse than, for example, Destiny, Far Cry, Battlefield or Call of Duty. But at that time, none of these video games existed yet, and the open world feeling with Halo: Combat Development and so many combat situations, it was something that didn’t even exist Half life on PC were achieved at that time. At least not like that.
Thanks to Game Pass you have the whole saga Halo with all its versions, but if we have to choose only one, so that you can begin to get acquainted with the saga, a video game that It hasn’t aged too well, although you’ll have to forgive the somewhat slow first five missions.yes, but then we promise you that in the next 5 missions there will be such exciting moments that we dare to say that it is absolutely impossible that by the time you reach the last stretch of the path, Halo Reach The game did not take you by surprise and will remain in your memories.
Halo Reach It was released in 2010 and is the last video game created by Bungie, the creators of the saga from the beginning, before 343 Industries was in charge of the saga. Reach has a good chance of being the first video game in the saga. Halo what are you playing
- While it’s not exactly modern, it’s not exactly old either, and it has gameplay mechanics, graphics, and sequences that border on the modern.
- This is the first part of the saga, which is a prequel to the entire video game. Halo.
- On a story level, it works great as a closed piece. It is not necessary to play any game from the series.
- It is also considered one of the best games in the series.
Keep in mind that you can complete the first three missions and you may like the game “halfway”, but it may not seem as spectacular as we paint in these lines, but We promise that if you put a little effort into getting through this half of the game and getting to the sixth mission, things will change radically.. There are good reasons why Halo Reach He will continue to be remembered with great affection and is not one you should miss for anyone.
Full Throttle – Day of the Tentacle – Grim Fandango
Tim Schafer’s trio of LucasArts graphic adventure aces from the ’90s are timeless classics of the genre that Besides the fact that they are very funny and make you smile because of their irreverent situations.has aged better than most video games thanks to the beautiful and well-designed pixel art in each of the episodes.
You have three video games on Game Pass and For achievement lovers, there are three gifts of 1000G each.without having to do anything too difficult or extravagant beyond completing each game, which has its own challenges if you go without any guidance. Grim Fandango This will be the most difficult and tedious because you will have to start the game, skip the main sequence, go to Options and change the control settings to Tank Mode, after that you will have to quit the game and start a new game now with this mode activated. You’ll have to do this the entire game to get the final achievement.
These three stories are very different from each other, but they are wonderful and will appeal to everyone. WITH Grim Fandango a fun and spectacular dubbing awaits us while we Full throttle The magnificent story features the voice of Mark Hamill himself, playing one of the characters, as well as other performances with southern accents from the USA. biker gangs in the not-too-distant future when hovercraft begin to become more common. In fact, of the three, it is the video game with the least amount of humor, the most action, and the most “adult stories” without being a video game for adults at all. Ideally recommended for teenagers.
Tentacle Day This is perhaps the craziest of the three, involving time travel and a lot of humor, offering us a story that would be quite difficult to overcome without a guide due to the alternate use of the three characters. It will be normal to get stuck here, but since it asks you to explore all the dialogue options and all the scenarios, in a completely normal game without a guide You will surely enjoy everything the game has to offer. just exploring in detail and trying everything until you find the key and advance through the story.
These classic games usually sell many times a year for very low prices, but you have them on Game Pass and we recommend you check them out because they are fun and amazing, even though it’s been 20 years they haven’t aged much.
The Walking Dead (Telltale) – Saga
We’ve talked about these video games in the past, and we recently paid a well-deserved tribute to one of the greatest stories of the generation and video games in general by looking at parts of it and how we recommend them. one. the walking Dead This is another one of those sagas that You can receive the full amount if you are an Xbox Game Pass subscriber. each part with all its episodes from the beginning of the first season to the fourth and final season, including the spin-off. Michonne of three episodes.
As we said at the time, this is only the first part due to issues with pacing, exploration, and longevity. can be a little boring sometimes, despite the fact that many consider it the best part, because its last part is really good and makes you want to continue working on the next parts of the saga. The little procedure we have to go through is that we have to force ourselves to continue the story and not abandon it halfway – at least to some people who don’t like it too much. That doesn’t mean it’s bad, but it does mean it’s the slowest of the bunch and has moments of exploration and exploration that are cut down considerably in later installments.
Correct order of play the walking Dead from Telltale will be the following:
- The Walking Dead: Season One
- 400 days (DLC from the first season, although if you skip it, nothing will happen either)
- The Walking Dead: Season 2
- The Walking Dead: The New Frontier (Season 3)
- The Walking Dead: Michonne (Very good spin-off, but if you don’t play it, nothing will happen)
- The Walking Dead: The Final Season
For achievement hunters, these games are a mine, because except for the last game, the rest, if you complete them, will give 100% of achievements, and some free decisions in 400 days Because it’s so short, you can restart the game after just a few minutes and try again. But once you get through the story of the first season, we are sure that you will immediately play the rest of the games and “enjoy” them because of their great story.

This is a video game that leaves no one indifferent, a very mature and raw story on the level Game of Thrones or the series itself the walking Dead where we will be the fundamental pillar in the dramatic decisions we will make, and where the end result will be something painful for the player, but at the same time rewarding and enriching. the walking Dead, with the exception of the first one, plays very comfortably and linearly, making it almost impossible for you to get stuck at any point in the story. The first one could be called one of those classics that has aged “a little average” and it’s not a disaster, but the whole saga is worth it for the incredible situations, the overall impact it will have on you, and the incredible story of Lee and Clementine.
