Here are the games that you’ll get if you are an Xbox Live Gold Subscriber.
May is here, it’s the middle of the year, and with a new month comes new games for Xbox Games With Gold subscribers to enjoy.
Xbox has given subscribers four new games this month including some platformer fun with Yoku’s Island Express, a bit of point & Click shenanigans with (The Inner World), some boat racing with Hydro Thunder Hurricane, and lastly some crazy party fun with Viva Pinata: Party Animals.
So, without further ado here are the games in all their glory subscribers can expect this month.
Yoku’s Island Express (1st of May to the 31st of May):
Yoku has arrived on Mokumana and he’s ready for the easy life, soaking up the sun and delivering parcels on a tropical paradise!
However, an ancient Island deity is trapped in a restless sleep – and it’s all down to Yoku to traverse the island using a unique blend of pinball mechanics, platforming, and open-world exploration, in an amazing adventure to help those in need!
Flip and bump our pint-sized protagonist around the stunning hand-painted island on your quest to rebuild the post-office, and wake an old god from its deep slumber.
The Inner World – The Last Wind Monk (16th of May to the 15th of June):
The flute nose dynasty has been watching over Asposia for centuries on end. In secret, they fill the roly-poly world with light and life. Emil, a trader for odds and ends, has led all the Asposians astray, making them believe that the dynasty is in cahoots with dark forces. Seriously, who knows what this weird family is doing day in, day out? The only one who could stop evil Emil is the heir to the flute nose throne: Robert.
He has been petrified for three years, though. With a huge dose of enthusiasm, but little to no idea what he’s actually doing, he embarks on an adventure to find the legendary last wind monk. Of course, he has some great company: Peck, as loyal as he is flightless, and Laura, a rebel who certainly does fly, but only off the handle and who is Robert’s love with a capital L, by the way. A final ray of hope is provided by the mysterious Mama Dola, who seems to know more about Robert’s destiny than Robert himself…
Hydro Thunder Hurricane (1st of May to the 15th of May):
Hydro Thunder Hurricane is a boat racing video game and the gameplay involves players selecting one of nine boats to race through over-the-top scenarios. Players can collect boost powerups throughout a course which are used to increase the speed of the boat, jump over obstacles, or unlock shortcuts. The game comes with three single player and two multiplayer modes, some of which are new to the series.
Viva Piñata Party Animals (16th of May to the 31st of May):
Unlike the original Viva Piñata, Party Animals is based on elements from the television show, including its characters and voices. Furthermore, the title provides a minigame-based experience, similar to the Mario Party series, rather than the sandbox environment of the original. There are over 40 minigames, as well as kart-style races which are conducted on foot.
