Summary
Xbox Game Passis already looking to have a stacked July but the month may get even better if a new report is to be believed. When it comes to shooters, Microsoft’s subscription service is packed with gems for those who enjoy the thrill of dashing around with some powerful weaponry; the entireDoomfranchise and all of the modernWolfensteingames are just some of what’s on offer. Having said that,Game Pass could be on the verge of adding what many have described as one of the most innovative shooters of the last decade.
Per a post to Reddit by userAlilBitTall,a recent listing on theTrue Achievementswebsite included several unlockable achievements from the 2022 shooterNeon White.
At the time of writing, the page has seemingly been taken down and delisted, and while that may not mean anything by itself, the speed with which it was removed lends some credibility to the claims that Angel Matrix’s trippy action game may soon arrive on Xbox Game Pass. It’s actually still possible to see evidence of the listing asit’s currently visible under the “Latest Xbox Achievements” section on the True Achievements homepage.
Neon White Is The Sonic Game I’ve Always Wanted
Leaderboards, bite-sized levels, and instant restarts give Neon White even more speed and replay value than recent Sonic The Hedgehog games.
Is Neon White Worth Your Time?
A Unique Game That May Not Be For Everyone
Anyone interested in trying outNeon White, if it does indeed come to Xbox Game Pass, should certainly give it a go, not least of all because it won’t cost anything aside from the standard subscription fee. Having said it,it’s certainly one of the more odd shooters on the market, straying far away from military action likeCall of Dutyand arena battles likeDoom. Notorious for being difficult to describe,Neon Whiteis a mixture of a card game and speed shooterand when it clicks, it’s incredible.
Navigating a series of timed levels, players are tasked with eliminating every enemy as quickly as possible with the only restriction being their movement and weapons. Actions are determined by cards:Using a card allows the titular protagonist to use whatever weapon he has equipped while discarding it grants him a movement boost or dash.The combination is a tricky balancing actof resource management to maximize speed and damage, which can sound intimidating for those who simply want to kill enemies with big guns.
Those who do giveNeon Whitea chance willno doubt find plenty to loveasthe campy anime-inspired story and characters act as a decent framing for the fast action sequences. Given that it’s the kind of game some may see as a risky purchase, having it drop onXbox Game Passis fantastic for those who just want to give it a try without dropping additional cash. July can’t come fast enough.
