If you’ve been working through the Yakuza series on Game Pass, you’ll want to finish these before they leave.

🔹 Evil West – A high-energy third-person shooter that mixes western action with supernatural horror. Think Doom meets Red Dead Redemption. If you love fast-paced, brutal combat, this is a must-play before it leaves.
🔹 No More Heroes 3 – The final chapter in Travis Touchdown’s over-the-top hack-and-slash adventure. Packed with crazy boss fights, hilarious dialogue, and chaotic action, this is a send-off fans of the series won’t want to miss.
🔹 Solar Ash – From the creators of Hyper Light Drifter, Solar Ash is a stunning sci-fi adventure that focuses on fast-paced traversal and surreal landscapes. It’s a short but unforgettable indie experience, so try it before it’s gone!
