Dandara and Lost Planet 2 video games are now free to download for Xbox Live Gold subscribers

February’s two new mid-month Games With Gold titles are now available to claim, download, and play for all gamers with an active Gold membership and a console from either the Xbox One or Xbox Series X families.

The first game is Dandara: Trials of Fear Edition, a single-player 2D platformer with a strong retro Sci-Fi aesthetic that came out in 2018.

Here’s the game description:

The world of Salt hangs on the brink of collapse. The citizens, once free spirits, now stand oppressed and isolated. But not all is lost, for out of this aether of fear arises a heroine, a ray of hope. Her name is Dandara. Welcome to a unique 2D metroidvania platformer full of mystical creatures and boundless exploration. Defy gravity as you jump across floors, walls, and ceilings alike. Discover the mysteries and secrets hidden throughout the world of Salt and its diverse array of characters. Empower Dandara for combat and survival against enemies bent on oppression. Awaken, Dandara, to bring freedom and balance to this directionless world.

The second game, Lost Planet 2, is an Xbox 360 title that released way back in 2010. It supports local multiplayer for up to four players and online multiplayer for matches with up to 16.

Here’s the full game description for Lost Planet 2:

This month has been a pretty good one for Xbox Live Gold subscribers as it’s given them five full video games to claim as opposed to the usual four. Gears 5, Resident Evil, and Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb have already been available this month though it’s worth noting that the ability to claim the latter title expired on the 15th.
