Congratulations! You just unwrapped a new Xbox One (or Xbox One S) for
the holidays! Now you're wondering what the best games are to play on
Microsoft's latest console. Fortunately, we're here to help, with some
of our top picks to try out on your new machine.
1. Overwatch
Overwatch took the gaming world by storm this
year, with a smart, polished take on the team-based shooter formula
that's bursting with character. Each character offers different
abilities and weapons that allow for a varied and unique range of
gameplay, whether you prefer to play as a deadly sniper, a a
hammer-wielding knight, or a rollerblading healer. Just remember to play
the objective, group up on the payload, and that no one needs a Hanzo
on Attack, no matter how many gold Elimination medals you have.
Available for direct digital download from the Xbox Store or on Amazon.
2. Titanfall 2
The successor to Titanfall brings more of
everything that made the first game great, adding new Titans, new
weapons, and new abilities. But more importantly, Titanfall 2
adds a single-player campaign to the mix that features some of 2016's
most creative ideas, from a massive robotic factory that assembles whole
towns around you as you fight your way through, to a time-warping
mechanic that stands out as one of the best levels of any game, period.
And when you're finished with the campaign, there's a wealth of game
types new and old waiting for you in the online multiplayer that builds
on the free running / giant mech gameplay loop of the first one.
Available for direct digital download from the Xbox Store or on Amazon.
3. Final Fantasy XV
The most anticipated RPG game of the last decade (because it was literally announced a decade ago), Final Fantasy XV
finally launched this year and proved that it was worth the wait.
Instead of the menu driven, turn-based combat the series is known for, FFXV
has a real-time combat system that's built around a central warping
mechanic that lets you zip around the battlefield and chain combos.
But
the game also has a surprisingly deep story, particular when it comes to
the bonds of friendship between the four main characters that makes it
feel more personal than its "saving the world" plot would have you
guess.
Available for direct digital download from the Xbox Store or on Amazon.
4. Rocket League
The indie hit that took the PlayStation 4 by storm last
summer finally made the jump to the Xbox One this year, and it brought
all the same fun flying car / soccer action with it. Rocket League
is simple to pick up, but if you’ve seen any footage from professional
players, it quickly escalates into soaring shots and heart-stopping
saves that would fit right in next to actual soccer players on any
highlight reel.
Available for direct digital download from the Xbox Store.
5. Superhot
A puzzle game masquerading as a first-person shooter, Superhot
shakes up the shooting genre with a simple but effective premise: time
only moves when you move. Practically, that means dodging bullets with
balletic grace and taking on hordes of enemies that vastly outgun and
outnumber you with the the bullet-time skills of Neo from The Matrix.
Mix in some clever scenarios and an amazing-looking, stripped-down
polygonal art style and you've got one of the most unique takes on a
shooter ever.
Available for direct digital download from the Xbox Store.
6. Forza Horizon 3
The Forza Horizon series has offered up an open-world spin on the famed racing franchise for the last few years, and Horizon 3 is the latest and best entry yet. Instead of the nitty-gritty tuning and hyper-real physics of the Motorsport
entries, Horizon offers up a more arcade-y take, giving you hundreds of
cars and the freedom to take them for a spin across the wilds of
Australia.
Combined with wild set piece races that feel ripped out of a Fast and Furious movie, Horizon 3
is the true successor of the casual racing game that will scratch the
itch to take a supercar on a joyride for fans of now-defunct franchises
like Burnout or Need for Speed.
Available for direct digital download from the Xbox Store or on Amazon.
7. Gears of War 4
The Gears of War series was left in a strange place, after the Xbox 360 swan song of the franchise, Gears of War: Juggernaut, was less than warmly received by fans. But new studio The Coalition brings Gears of War 4 back to the series' roots, with gameplay that feels ripped right out of the original trilogy of Gears games (in a good way!)
Available for direct digital download from the Xbox Store or on Amazon.
