Xbox Game Pass brings you two amazing Beat ’em up games to keep you company this weekend

So, this weekend we’re heading straight to the Xbox Game Pass catalog to get our fix of classic action. You know the drill: frantic fights, button-mashing, and that adrenaline rush that only Beat ’em up games can deliver. Here are two titles that you absolutely need to try.

Saturday with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge

Our beloved Ninja Turtles are the undisputed queens of this genre, and this game is the culmination of years of history and success. It’s a perfect blend of charming pixel graphics and modern improvements that make it an ideal choice for a weekend gaming session.

Sunday Funday with Marvel Cosmic Invasion

The new adventure has arrived, bearing the unmistakable seal of Dotemu and Tribute Games, with a quality that’s on par with their best games and featuring a plethora of iconic characters from the Marvel universe.

As always, these recommendations are completely personal and based on my love for these games. The idea is for us to have an amazing time while taking a well-deserved break with Xbox.
