Folks who may be looking for new games to check out onXbox Game Passcan check out five new titles this week. Among those titles which could be of interest includeHeroes of Might and Magic: Olden EraandAphelion, a sci-fi game from the people behind the popular series Life Is Strange.

Other game titles that were released include the simulation gameInkonbini, roguelite action gameTerraTech LegionandSledding Game. Also worth noting is that none of these game titles are released from Xbox Game Studios, meaning they are likely to be available for only a limited time perComicbook.

Considering this long-running turn-based strategy game series' popularity, it was hardly surprising to learn from Hooded Horse, Unfrozen Studio and Ubisoft that Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era had a wildly successful weekend.

In anofficial release, the game reportedly had 250,000 sales in less than 24 hours and eventually breached 500,000 sales over the weekend. At the moment, it currently sits at 650,000 copies sold.

'Heroes of Might and Magic has an incredible history,' Hooded Horse CEO Tim Bender said. 'It is an absolute thrill to see Olden Era get such a positive reception from players, and take its position as the newest entry in this classic series.'

Heroes of Might and Magic dates back to 1995 but has not had a new release since 2015. Regardless, it is clear that there are people still interested and have spare time to play the game.

If not Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, Aphelion could be a game some may want to check out. It is a visually stunning, narrative-driven sci-fi adventure game that comes with an appealing atmosphere and good storytelling.

However, the clunky, repetitive climbing and stealth mechanics may be things players would frown upon.

The game is all about two astronauts and former lovers exploring a newly discovered planet. They scan the planet to see if it is fit for human life. However, things go haywire along the way and both end up looking for answers and each other perPolygon.

'TerraTech Legion' offers something interesting as well. In this game, you start as a big vehicle in the TerraTech Legion but are required to drive around and use weapons to shoot at enemies that reward you with experience.
