August is coming to a close, so a new lineup of freebies for Xbox Live Gold subscribers is almost here. Microsoft has revealed September’s four Games with Gold titles–two for Xbox One, and two legacy titles that are backward-compatible. The Division–not The Division 2–leads the way on Xbox One and will be followed up by point-and-click adventure game The Book of Unwritten Tales 2. Third-person shooter Armed and Dangerous and puzzle-platformer de Blob 2 will also be free next month.
The Division will be free all month for Gold subscribers. Though it’s a solid game, it’s a rather uninspired choice considering much of the fun of the series hinges on online multiplayer, and The Division 2 took its place last year. If you haven’t played the original, however, there’s fun to be had in the campaign–but you can regularly find it in bargain bins for only a few bucks.
From September 16 to October 15, you can grab The Book of Unwritten Tales 2, a humorous point-and-click adventure game starring four unlikely heroes who set out on an adventure to stop a magical force that has turned the kingdom upside down. It’s a rather silly adventure game, seeing as how monsters have been turned into puppies and castles now look like huge dollhouses.
