Gaming is a very wide genre. We see tons of different titles all around us every day while surfing through Steam or Xbox Game Pass. But as it is with different aspects of life, some achieve more exposure than others, which is why the term “underrated” exists.
Xbox Game Pass is one of the best cloud gaming services out there and boasts a wide plethora of games. You can just buy a subscription, which costs up to $14.99 a month, with the first month being just $1. Instead of buying heaps of titles, many are opting for this service. However, as mentioned earlier, the word “underrated” works here too.
Thus in this article, we will look at the five most underrated games on Xbox Game Pass that you need to try now.

Xbox Game Pass: 5 underrated games to play include State of Decay 2, Tell Me Why, and more
1) State of Decay 2
State of Decay 2 is not just another customary zombie apocalypse game; it is way different. The twist is this is your own story, as you direct the narrative in your own way. You will have to handle the actions of your group or decide on your hunting partner, and will have to make every necessary decision in the game in your own way to survive this abysmal situation.
The game is realistic and different from other zombie titles. It forces you to rethink your decisions and take control of dilemmas. The combat is very smooth and fresh, thus it is a very good play for sure in the Xbox Game Pass.
2) As Dusk Falls
If you are a fan of story-driven games, this one is for you. As Dusk Falls is surprisingly underrated on the Xbox Game Pass, considering it offers such a good experience.
Choice is everything and you even start with one – your adventure. You can begin with any one of the three characters as your own and continue their story, centered on a robbery gone wrong in rural Arizona. Choose your own way, face the consequences of your choices, and live the life of someone else.
3) This War of Mine: Final Cut
This War of Mine: Final Cut is arguably one of the best survival games in Xbox Game Pass. It perfectly portrays the life of an average civilian during a war and the struggles that are going on. He just strives to survive this adversity.
You must get the other civilians everything they need. Trading with survivors and making tough choices for survival come next. It is a very tragic game with a tenebrous setting, which incorporates the calamities brought over by wars effectively.
4) Tell Me Why
Tell Me Why is another underrated story-driven title in Xbox Game Pass, which a lot of people tend to skip. With its beautiful and mature storyline, it is something that is to be played when you want to get away from fighting and killing in games.
It chronicles the stories of Tyler and Allison as they are striving to sell their childhood home where their mother died due to some obnoxious reasons. They share a supernatural bond among them, through which they can exchange their thoughts and memories among them. You have to dive deep into their memories and find out the root reason behind their trauma – the reason for their mother’s death.
5) The Long Dark
Another survival game on Xbox Game Pass, but it is unlike any other as the realism in this title is striking. Considering that it came out in 2014, it is surprising that it is not more popular than it is.
The game features realistic survival adversities, like climate change, heavy rain, or snow. You will have to gather supplies and keep yourself warm and well-fed. These are the necessities for survival in this game facing real-life challenges.
