Hey Xbox Empire, now that I have an Xbox One (X specifically) and can actually play more than a handful of the Game Pass Core Game Library, what are some you recommend? Forza Horizon 4 seems like a must-play.
I've already played on PC or other platforms:
Stardew Valley
Unpacking
Vampire Survivors
TMNT: Shredder's Revenge
Golf with Your Friends
Human Fall Flat

Only Game Pass Core? Then...

  • Celeste, Grounded, Hellblade, Inside, Limbo - Great titles, no previous entries to consider.
  • Doom Eternal, Gears 5, Ori and the Will of the Wisps - Great titles but need to play the previous entries.
  • Forza Horizon 4 and Psychonauts 2 - Great titles, they have previous entries but Horizon's previous entries aren't important to playing Forza Horizon 4 and I knew nothing about Psychonauts 1 but didn't feel like I missed anything by not playing it.
  • Halo 5/Halo Wars 2 - Only really if you've played the previous Halo's and not these.
  • Fallout 4 - I'm enjoying it quite a bit and you don't have to have played New Vegas/3.
  • Fable Anniversary - Love Fable but I never played the remaster so I don't know if Fable 1 feels dated now, I also heard it was buggy.
  • Elder Scrolls Online - Essential if you care about Elder Scrolls lore, if you're a lore nerd then you'll love it but you'll spend 1000 hours in it and it can feel a bit overwhelming with all the content at first.

Heard great things about State of Decay 2's post launch support and SoD1 isn't essential for playing.
