To complement the Xbox Games With Gold December offers, Bleed 2 is available from December 16. Its developer, Ian Campbell, describes it as “a relentless arcade action game with aerial dodging, bullet reflectors, and tons of bosses.” Eurogamer, meanwhile, called it “two hours of brilliance; with tremendous replayability”, saying, “This one deserves an S rank of its own.” It will remain available on Xbox Games With Gold until January 15.
