It's a strange and unusual game about androids questioning the nature of existence via beating up robots and cleverly crafted homages to other games - when you're not mastering the acrobatic gunplay, the camera plays with angles that turn this into things like a topdown shooter, or aside scrolling brawler.
Other interesting ideas see things like a chip system that lets you automate parts of the game you might struggle with. For example, if you're not great at dodging, an auto-evade chip can take care of that for you, while leaving every other facet of combat under your control.
It's odd, inventive and fascinating game hitting Xbox in its most definitive edition. The pitter-patter of combat booted feet sounds through the roof. Defenders erect Home Alone defences. Was that the whine of a rappel buckle? It's a sense of tension that beats most horror games. And once all hell does break loose, you're suddenly thrown into the midst of deep, strategical, brutally unforgiving warfare. Is the story mostly nonsense? Yet despite being furiously tough, the masterfully balanced Sekiro : Shadows Die Twice never feels overly unfair.
Encouraging controlled bouts of aggression, this is a game that rewards seriously steely nerves. And how about those boss fights? Take a look at this selection of some of the best Xbox One titles from a range of different genres to find the best Xbox One games for intense, immersive gameplay.
Decades of gaming and game reviewing on a personal collection of over eight consoles and a gaming PC, informed this list of the top Xbox One games of Extensive research into each title also helped in deciding between radically different games competing for the same slot.
Genre: We selected games from a variety of different genres, given that not every gamer prefers only first-person shooters FPS or role-playing games RPG. For this list we looked for a little bit of everything.
Play Modes: We included games with diverse play modes, including online, offline, single-player, and multiplayer, as some gamers enjoy the quiet personal challenge of an offline, single-player game, while others seek the teamwork and community that comes with online multiplayer games.

Red Dead Redemption 2: Special Edition features both online and offline modes, as well as a multiplayer mode that allows players to form a posse. Whether a gamer is drawn to the intriguing Western setting or the familiar GTA -style gameplay, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an Xbox One game held in high regard by the gaming community, with an impressive amount of content to get lost in.
It should be noted however that this game received a Mature rating, so it might be a little much for kids. Why It Made the Cut: Our pick for the best budget Xbox one game allows you to challenge the denizens of hell head-on in single-player mode or become the demons to battle other players in multiplayer mode.
This first-person shooter FPS stands alone. As players progress through the single-player campaign the growth of the character is evident as the challenging early-game enemies gradually become commonplace lackeys that are replaced by a variety of greater threats.
Doom Eternal keeps gamers on their toes with a never-ending barrage of demons to slay. If shooting big, ugly creatures with big, powerful guns seems like a thrill, then Doom: Eternal is a title to check out. Pros: — Free game expansions — Immersive storyline and world — Innovative bestiary of creatures — Fun and engaging game mechanics. Players choose between a wide variety of spells, items, and weapons in a range of different combat scenarios, yet Witcher 3 is hardly a simple hack-and-slash game.
One of the only drawbacks to this fun, entertaining RPG is that its constant gruesome deaths, as well as nudity and adult themes, make it a poor choice for younger gamers. I wish I could tell you that Sea of Thieves is flawless in every way. It's not. The core story and missions are not fleshed out, and the world can feel lifeless at times.
That's if you play alone. If you have two to three friends ready to sail the seas with you, the open-ended nature of the game can become a strength. Manning a small sloop or massive galleon takes a lot of teamwork, and fighting off other players or skeleton crews while taking on the wind and sea is truly exhilarating. Firewatch is sad, slow, and beautiful. A game that's almost a short story of the sort you'd find in The New Yorker , it's the tale of a man in the wilderness trying to find a way to live with his past.
As wildfires build on the horizon, you'll explore the Wyoming wilderness with care and earnestness that's rare to find in games. Campo Santo created, in Firewatch , one of the most subtle, adult, and moving stories ever told in a video game. It plays with the storytelling conventions of games, almost crafting a traditional narrative before revealing something quieter and more intimate.
Forza Horizon 4 is the culmination of a series of free-roaming, exciting racing games, and a work of genius for anyone who likes to drive digital cars. Set in a stunning digital rendition of England, it has a bustling, engaging world of drivers and vehicles, race tracks, and off-roading obstacles.
Some games like to fashion themselves as vacations, taking the players to exotic locations and letting them experience things they couldn't otherwise. The idea of driving cars around England isn't, maybe, the most ambitious vacation idea anyone has ever had. But Forza Horizon 4 makes it seem like one of the best. There's no easy way to describe Control. On the surface, it's a third-person action game, but it plays like a mystery thriller that would make David Lynch proud.
In the shoes of an agent of the Federal Bureau of Control, Jesse Faden, you explore an endless skyscraper called the Oldest House, while trying to unravel the mysteries surrounding the supernatural threat known as the Hiss.
I know, right? If you like genre-bending games with weird premises like Silent Hill , you'll love Control. You can read more about it in our full review. Photograph: Microsoft.

The story of Gears 5 is heartfelt, personal, and engaging, while multiplayer is once again a blast, too. The staple Versus and Horde modes are joined by the interesting new Escape mode that challenges a team of three to get the heck out of a map before a lethal poison cloud envelops them.
Bring on Gears 6! The original Gears made our list of the best Xbox exclusives of all time. This collection of six Halo games stands tall for the campaigns alone — particularly the completely remastered Halo 2 Anniversary — but now that developer has updated the once-maligned multiplayer suite along with new features, enhancements, and an overall level of polish, Halo: The Master Chief Collection is an absolute must-own that just keeps getting better year after year.
This is the quintessential Halo experience that has finally fulfilled all of its massive potential. If you're a longtime fan of the Halo universe or a newcomer who has no idea where to start in the long saga of the Master Chief, you can't do better than this. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice offers an exhilarating dose of what FromSoftware does best with new, skill-heavy combat systems that require precision and perfection to master.
Its specific brand of action may not be for everyone, but those who stick it out will find Sekiro to be an immensely rewarding journey. FromSoftware's next game is the highly anticipated Elden Ring , out February We define a 10 out of 10 as a "masterpiece," and Inside is every bit of one. The non-sequel follow-up to the sublime Limbo took six years to make, and it looks like five of those were spent on polish.
Every pixel, animation, ray of light, and audio cue feels considered — not to mention the puzzles themselves. Inside won't strain your brain too hard, but its impactful non-verbal story will leave you contemplating what it all means for days after you finish it. Inside is simply unforgettable and should not be missed. Is it a nice looking game with a whimsical, fairy-tale tone and graphics to match?
Yes, most certainly. But you need to play It Takes Two with a friend or loved one either on the couch or via online play, of course, since It Takes Two cannot be played alone because it is simply one of the best and most unique multiplayer experiences you can find these days.
Play it and we promise you'll smile. Remedy, meanwhile, is working on several new projects, including a Control multiplayer game, the long-awaited Alan Wake 2 , and a free-to-play co-op shooter codenamed Vanguard. Agent 47's latest and for now, last outing is not only a much better game than its two predecessors, it's a much prettier one too.
Hitman 3 has some truly breathtaking scenes from an eye-candy perspective. The first mission in Dubai will get you hooked, but the remaining five — including the second one, which is essentially like a playable version of the fantastic film Knives Out — will keep your Xbox powered on for hours as you try out the myriad ways to take out your targets. This is the best Hitman since Blood Money. IO's plans for Hitman 3 in include new maps, new storylines, and new modes. Its entire gameplay loop is built around you being a badass — complete with other characters you encounter in the game being very, very aware of your badassery — but Eternal meets you in the middle by throwing literally dozens of demons at you at a time to even the odds.
As the enemies get bigger and nastier during the campaign, you get faster, smarter, and more powerful too. Assassin's Creed has essentially evolved from a stealth action-adventure to a full-blown open-world RPG, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla is perhaps the best example of its modern form yet.
