Games with Gold: The force is with the May line up

Xbox have announced the Games with Gold for May and for the first time in a long time, include games that people have heard of, well at least one of them and they couldn’t be as different as you can get.

Xbox are still doing that weird split with one game being available all month long and the other only being available for part of the month and then part of the next. But here are the games you can get in May.

Star Wars Episode I Racer

May 1 to 31

Climb on and strap in for some old-school “Star Wars Episode I” podracing action. Play as young Anakin Skywalker or any of the over twenty-one podracers. Fire up your two massive jet engines and rev up to 600 MPH as you race by and over flaming methane lakes, through meteor showers, past Tusken Raiders, and more. May the Force be with you!

Hoa

May 16 to June 15

Travel through the beautiful, mythologically inspired world of Hoa. Play as the titular fairy returning to her homeland to reinvigorate the terrain and its inhabitants. This is a soothing, meditative puzzle-platformer which will utterly charm you with hand-painted art and a beautiful score. Lose yourself in the little wonders.
