I'm into anything lol. Just curious if there are any "Must Buy!" titles, like how the Switch has their Zeldas and Marios. I've heard Halo is very good, though mostly the original trilogy. Same with Gears of War. Haven't heard about AoE though, so might be interested. |
Biggest "must buys" I would consider will always be Halo. Halo Infinite and Halo: The Master Chief Collection (which does have a Series X update) definitely Gears of War, which you can play all the games via Backwards Compatibility and are individually purchasable if you don't have the disc. The original trilogy is one of my favorite in gaming. The first game did receive a remaster in 2015 called Gears of War Ultimate Edition if you want to start there. Especially since it looks like the storyline from Gears 4 and 5 will be put on hold since the recently announced E-Day will be a prequel to the original trilogy.
Other must buys would be Starfield (if you're into Bethesda RPGs like Fallout or Elder Scrolls: Skyrim) the Forza games with Motorsport being the hardcore racing sim (think of Gran Turismo) and Horizon (open world arcade racer)
Age of Empires is probably top 5 of Xbox franchises now. It's an old Real-Time Strategy franchise (think of StarCraft or Command & Conquer but in a historical settings) The first 3 games have been remastered with AoE 2 being ported to console in 2022 with fantastic controller support, and AoE 4 was a brand new entry to the series that released in 2021 and ported to console in 2023, also with fantastic controller support. Age of Mythology was a spin-off game and is probably my favorite in the series, that is getting its remaster on September 4th. Probably my most anticipated game!
Xbox is also going to have a pretty big holiday season too. Avowed is a semi open world fantasy Action RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Both slated for this holiday season.
