The Flame in the Flood is worth trying

If youā€™ve got Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass Ultimate, hereā€™s your regularly scheduled reminder to make a note to redeem some free-with-your-sub games. The March 2022 Xbox Games with Gold freebies wonā€™t be claimable until Tuesday, but the official lineup is out, and itā€™s probably going to elicit a ā€œhuh?ā€ or two ā€” or maybe even a ā€œzuh.ā€

Xbox is giving out an old SpongeBob game that I (and I imagine plenty of you) have never heard of called Truth or Square. It might be worth a look if Battle for Bikini Bottom wasnā€™t enough, especially if youā€™ve got kids who love these sorts of licensed platformers. Iā€™m skimming through an under-three-hour ā€œlongplayā€ on YouTube as we speak.

Interestingly (to me, anyway!), this Xbox 360 game was one of the titles that showed up in Microsoftā€™s final Xbox backward compatibility push in November 2021.

When these free games will be up for grabs:

Street Power Soccer is likely another question-mark ā€” itā€™s an arcade-style street soccer game, so, not something we see every day. On the flip side, Sacred 2 is an action-RPG for people who are okay with going back to older games in the genre and are looking for lots of content. Thereā€™s a time and a place, for sure. I call it the semi-mindless zone.

That said, the highlight for Xbox Games with Gold in March is definitely The Flame in the Flood, a roguelike survival game with some memorable ā€œpost-societal Americaā€ atmosphere to soak up as you make your way down a river. Watch out for critters.

Itā€™s months like these that explain why I have so many random games in my library. Theyā€™re games Iā€™m totally never going to touch, sure, but itā€™s nice to have ā€™em.
