So we're talking what we think were the best exclusives from each year, yes? So even if I list a game, it doesn't mean I think it was amazing or anything, it was just the best available. For example, 2012.
2012 - NSMB U. Not an amazing game, but what else is there? Nintendo Land? Nah. It was a good side scrolling Mario though.
2013 - Dead Rising 3, Ryse. DR3 for the insane amount of zombies on screen with the wide open world and detail, really showcased what next gen could do. Ryse because of insane graphics and a great narrative. These were my first two Xbone games and were the main reason I went Xbone over PS4 to start the gen... that and my 2014 game.
2014 - Titanfall. GOTG. Just insane fun. Best MP since CoD4 imho. I love the SP in the sequel, but they mainstream'd the MP up too much to make it more accessible.
2015 - Ori or Mario Maker. I guess I'd give it to Mario Maker, it was a lot of fun and infinitely replayable.
2016 - Quantum Break. Maybe my second favorite SP of this gen behind Titanfall 2, probably actually #1.
2017 - Breath of the Wild with Cuphead a distant second.
2018 - Probably Horizon 4, goddamn it's good. Haven't finished GoW yet though, so it might be better.
