The 10 Best Xbox Game Pass games you're probably not playing

#6 Westerado: Double Barreled

Double Barreled

Adult Swim, the sardonic and arguably more successful spin-off of the Cartoon Network, has been putting some exceptionally good games in recent years. Like, not just exceptionally-good-for-a-TV-network-getting-into-the-games-business-for-some-reason good, but actually legitimately good.

Not only have they published games on their many TV properties (such as Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Rick and Morty), but some exceptional stand-alone titles, as well. They've even collaborated with industry icons like Tim Schafer and his Double Fine Studios (for Headlander, which is also available on Game Pass).

Westerado: Double Barreled has you in the shoes.... boots?... of a rancher in the Old West, looking for the varmint that done killed his family (that's how everybody talked back then, by the way). The simple graphics (it's that enhanced pixel-style art again) and easy to understand gameplay leads directly into the game's best feature: you have the option of accusing anyone you want of being the killer... literally anybody in the game.

If you watch the trailer above, you'll notice that during one of the dialogue scenes, there's a menu option to "draw gun". You can do this during any conversation, and you have the ability to send the game's story into the weirdest directions.

Do you help the local sheriff take care of some hooligans in hopes that he'll help you in return? Or do you become so consumed by grief that you just murder everyone in a saloon?

You can do that.

The reason I selected this over Headlander, which is itself also a great game, is that Westerado is also an Xbox One console exclusive. But, both are worth checking out, either way.
