The second half of Xbox Game Pass’ November free game offerings have been revealed, and it’s quite a doozy that caters to indie, strategy, and even hack-and-slashing, I mean shooting.

Dune: Spice Wars, Ghostlore, Lapin, and Norco will be out on Xbox Game Pass on 17th November. This is followed by 3D action game Gungrave G.O.R.E., which will be out on 22nd November.

29th November will be rounded off with Insurgency: Sandstorm, Soccer Story, and multiplayer PvE first-person shooter-with-melee Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. The last game on this list is noteworthy as everyone has been waiting for their “Left 4 Dead but Warhammer 40K” fix.

Pentiment, the new adventure game from Obsidian, is out right now on Xbox Game Pass. It’s a lovely Renaissance Era game with multiple ending choices and a great mystery for you to solve. Check out our full review here. If you prefer a more scifi approach, Somerville is worth playing as it’s also available on the service. Our review of that game from Jumpship Studios is here.
