New Xbox Game Pass Game Is Higher Rated Than Hollow Knight: Silksong

by

2025’s Xbox Game Pass lineup for September has been impressive and follows a notable pattern – the release of day one games. In fact, out of the top ten highest-rated games of this year, three have been exclusive to Xbox Game Pass on their launch day: “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33”, “Blue Prince”, and “Abiotic Factor”. Notably, “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33” and “Blue Prince” are currently the highest-rated and second-highest-rated games of 2025. Given this trend, it’s no wonder that we’re expecting another day one game on Xbox Game Pass, a potential Game of the Year candidate.

The game in question is “Hollow Knight: Silksong,” but this week, an additional title joined Xbox Game Pass, which also includes “Hollow Knight: Silksong.” However, it’s not a day-one release for this new game, but it marks the first time it has been offered through Xbox Game Pass. Interestingly, it has received higher ratings than “Hollow Knight: Silksong.” This enigmatic game is referred to as “I Am Your Beast.”

In easy-to-read language:

The current game we’re discussing is called “Hollow Knight: Silksong,” and there’s another one that just joined Xbox Game Pass, which includes “Hollow Knight: Silksong.” This new game isn’t a day-one release, but it’s the first time it’s been available on Xbox Game Pass. Interestingly, it has better ratings than “Hollow Knight: Silksong.” The mysterious game is known as “I Am Your Beast.

User Review Scores

This week, the anticipated sequel, “Hollow Knight: Silksong,” has been grabbing headlines, including among Xbox Game Pass members. It’s one of the year’s highly anticipated games, as demonstrated by its massive player base. However, many are playing it, but are they enjoying it? As of now, “Hollow Knight: Silksong” doesn’t have a Metacritic score, but it does have a Steam User Review score, and this user review score is lower than that of “I Am Your Beast.” While “Hollow Knight: Silksong” has a “Very Positive” rating on Steam, largely due to a 93% approval rating, which is quite good, this is actually lower than “I Am Your Beast,” which boasts an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating thanks to an astonishing 98% approval rating.

At this time, Hollow Knight: Silksong lacks a Metacritic score, so a comparison based on Metacritic scores is not possible at the moment. Although predictions anticipate that it will receive an exceptional score surpassing the range of 77 to 85 given to I Am Your Beast, it’s improbable for it to catch up in terms of user reviews.

About I Am Your Beast

For those who aren’t familiar, “I Am Your Beast” is a first-person shooter game that was initially released in 2024 on Steam, but made its way to Xbox consoles just this summer. Similar to the upcoming game “Hollow Knight: Silksong”, it is an independent project. The developers at Strange Scaffold were responsible for both creating and publishing it.

In this action-packed game, you take on the role of Alphonse Harding, a secret agent being pursued relentlessly through the wilderness by a powerful conglomerate of military and industrial forces. This game is described as a compact, high-stakes narrative revolving around covert operations and revenge, set in the first-person shooter genre.

Having shared my thoughts, and as usual, we welcome your feedback. If the mentioned games don’t appeal to you, perhaps you might be interested in a new Ubisoft game that Xbox Game Pass subscribers have been raving about recently.
