microsoft definitely lost the last generation of the console war but they're making a very
solid start with the s and the x now the s is believed to be the best-selling next-gen
console right now while the x it's technically the most powerful console ever made plus they're
the home of the xbox game pass perhaps the best deal in gaming right now welcome to the channel
everybody chaos here today we're going to be looking at the 15 best games currently available
on the s and the x these are the top of the pack on the xbox right now and a bunch of them are
available on game pass so you could give them a try right now for this list we're also going to
be looking at games with official xbox series x releases but remember that's pretty much the
entire xbox one and 360 library which is playable so you let me know which is your favorite drop a
like we start off with a super underrated one guardians of the galaxy now when you think of
superhero games you probably think of spider-man or the arkham franchise but i think in a few years
you will be thinking of guardians on the same level the gameplay isn't mind-blowing or super
unique but it's an excellent third person action game that perfectly brings the guardians to life
this game actually leaked nearly four years before its launch and i'll never really understand why
it was swept under the rug the way it was it's a good game it's a really good game it's worth
a shot if you haven't tried it plus it's on game pass cult of the lamb very very recent release on
the list it was published by devolver digital who's actually been on a winning streak over
the last few years he played as a lamb saved by a god-like creature that you are now in debt to and
you must repay it by creating a massive following in their name it's a really weird concept but
the gameplay was excellent it merged elements of roguelike construction management action adventure
it's a complicated game but it's actually pretty addicting it has the same addicting qualities as
other roguelikes like binding of isaac and ftl so if those are games that are up your alley or your
cup of tea you'll probably enjoy cult of the lamp tmnt shredders revenge here's a game that nobody
expected being credible and here it is launched in 2022 amazing throwback to the classic arcade
titles but with a number of modern enhancements the gameplay was refined the hitboxes were made
a little less awkward and the soundtrack let's be real it's laps shredders revenge also features a
ton of challenges and collectibles for you to grind with your buddies it is truly the
perfect continuation of the classic arcade title if you haven't played it you owe it to yourself
and your nostalgic roots hitman 3. now hitman was one of the most defining games of the stealth
action genre the rebooted trilogy is nearly perfect hitman 3 dropped in early 2021 it wrapped
up everything with a nice little bow and it also perfectly expanded upon the gameplay the first two
hitman 3 is the equal balance of absurdity and strategy you have to come up with new ways to
take out your targets you can make it look like a big public accident you can make them
get alone and do the job quietly or you can go for something in between the game is awesome
even if you never played a hitman game before it's a really good starting point sea of thieves
now i will admit i was on the bandwagon of hating on this game when it first came out
it was a disappointing launch partially because of the developers legacy and partially because of
how awesome the concept actually was thankfully after a few years of updates sea of thieves is
one of the best online games on the market pirate adventure heavily inspired by games like daisy and
eve online while borrowing stylistic elements from the pirates of the caribbean movies and it all
comes together in a really cool way the game was re-released for the series x in 2020 to critical
acclaim it is still one of the most popular games on xbox live tiny tina's wonderlands borderlands 3
was a solid game that many saw decent they saw it as a decent way to cap off the franchise but then
along came a spin-off called tiny tina now it blew its predecessor out of the water this is arguably
the best borderlands game since borderlands 2 and perfectly blends the franchise's looter shooter
gameplay with aspects of tabletop rpgs many fans of the borderlands franchise considered tiny tina
to be one of the best entries in the series and due to it being a spin-off that's a great starting
point if you've never played one before if you're a fan of looter shooters or crazy fps experiences
give this one a go psychonauts 2. now the original psycho notch dropped in 2005
instantly became a cult classic actually you can't instantly become a cult classic
over the years it became a cult classic excellent writing the world the addicting
development prison but we gameplay got our hands on it last year and it was worth it has everything
you loved about the original plus a ton of new things like improved gameplay an elaborate story
lots of collectibles now i recommend you play the original first because it was great but two stands
on its own well enough and it's probably one of the best games on xbox right now hades developed
and published by supermassive games by far the biggest indie game of 2020 still one of the best
games out right now you play as the son of hades and you try to prove your self so you can escape
the underworld it's a roguelike hack and slash multiple branching story lines encourages multiple
playthroughs and the presentation is at the top it's a perfect example of what can be accomplished
when a creative studio isn't being restricted by a big publisher trying to maximize sales
and it still has a huge community to this day despite being a strictly single player experience
it's fantastic every modern every modern gamer should give it a try elden ring come
on latest masterpiece for from software took the formula of dark souls amplified it to a thousand
the gameplay has been refined to an insane degree in the game world it's huge the gameplay loop is
still very dark souls-esque meaning you'll have to figure out most of it yourself but there's a very
well implemented multiplayer mode to give a sense of community and shared accomplishment i mean ld
ring is from software's magnum opus and if they have a super high bar to clear for their next game
i think they got it honestly we want to wait and see forever we know they're working on something
else but elden ring it's amazing forza horizon 5. now people are prefer the forza motorsport series
okay i have a soft spot for the open world forza horizon franchise and fh5 hands down the best
released in late 2021 it is i i think it's the first truly next-gen entry in the series set the
fictionalized version of mexico the game features a ton of cars huge open world roughly 50 bigger
than horizon 4. the graphics you already know the driving amazing so much to do so much to explore
it was the single biggest launch for any xbox game studios game to date and it earned it even
if you don't like racing games you may just like it for the eye candy and the cathartic gameplay
far cry 6 underrated speaking of eye candy it's one of the best looking open world games on the
market right now i personally prefer five's game play but six is good inspired by the
cuban revolution another open world fps lots to do massive map to liberate piece by piece and a
large cast of characters with some unique quirks that you'll get to to kind of know as you grind
along the game also features a ton of quality of life improvements over its predecessors on the top
just being a really good open world shooter it's a great entry point for franchise newcomers it
certainly set the bar pretty high for what comes next i mean as the first next-gen far cry game
it was worthy orion the will of the wisps now orion the blind forest was a surprise hit
launched back seven years ago somehow managed to hit the same highs as his predecessor while
also carving out a unique identity for itself moon studios are a company to keep your eye on moving
forward because they've yet to let us down the wisps carries on the story from the first game
expanding upon the gameplay and somehow making the visuals even more beautiful which i didn't even
think was possible this metroidvania is worth your time and since it's relatively small as a download
you might as well alt tab over to the xbox app right now and give it a go halo infinite
now the multiplayer i know it's been criticized for lack of content subpar post release support
but the single player campaign it's a ton of fun in the forge mode endless potential i mean i've
kind of given up hope on future halo projects but that doesn't mean we end on a low note and i'm all
about the story anyway it's a great sci-fi fps and while it's on the level of the bungee titles
it'll work multiplayer definitely needs work and i'm not sure if it's going to get there but the
campaign is great the community is going wild with forge and speaking of halo at number one today
halo the master chief collection easily the best value for your buck on the xbox right
now i know i said i was only counting games that got an official series x release but i cheated
the master chief collection is too good not to mention i mean you get six full halo games
a giant multiplayer experience a ton of bonus content hundreds of hours worth of
gameplay and achievements what more could you ask for the master chief collection is
an excellent game it's a must own for any xbox owner in 2022 these games hold up well and the
enhancements that came with the mcc are perfect there you have it if you're looking for new
games or you're looking for good games on the xbox hope this helped i'll see you guys soon
