Those that are subscribed to this subscription service can enjoy a wealth of games for the cheap cost of a monthly sub, and believe me, there’s some crackers in there.

So, what are the best titles that you can play from the games that are available now? Here’s our top ten picks.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is a wrap. It wasn’t very hard to compile this list and although there’s a few on here that I suspect will split the crowd, many of them stand out on the merit of their receptions. It’s worth pointing out that some of these titles will rotate out of the library as new games rotate in – over time – but each of these are yours for the taking right now. Do you agree with the list? Would you have put forward something else? Holding hope to see a specific game to hit the library later down the line? Hit the comments below.

Shantae reminds me of the old Hudson Games, “Adventure Island.”

To me the best fighting game to get into is Smash Ultimate.
Melee is really good, but too hard to get into, ultimate tho is easy to start and does not have too many hard mechanics necessary to win.
Plus, the cast is really big and it’s really easy to find a main.
