Xbox One Exclusives
The Xbox One was on a mission in 2015. After a less than stellar outing, Phil Spencer steered the wayward ship into smoother waters with a new message and easily the Xbox platform’s strongest lineup. That slate of game releases began during the holiday season, but the bulk of it is set up to make 2016 amazing.
Quantum Break, the next game from Remedy and one of the reasons some people actually picked up an Xbox One, is due out in the spring with all of its time-manipulating action. A new season for Killer Instinct will keep the fighting game fans enthralled and offer some solid competition against one of Sony’s own exclusives. Gears of War 4 wowed those who saw the reveal at E3 2015, and with that scheduled for Fall of this year, the holiday season is looking mighty fine for the green machine that is Microsoft.
What really is going to help the Xbox One this year is variety. Outside of the AAA shooters and action games, the console has a strong selection of creative titles spanning several genres. Below presents an indie experience in the vein of the Souls games, only this time with permadeath. Keiji Inafune’s Recore takes robot mechanics and adventure and combines them for a potentially marvelous game.
It’s unfortunate that Scalebound has become the first victim to slip into 2017, but with everything else on the way the Xbox One definitely has a really solid lineup ahead of them. And that’s only going off what we definitely know to be releasing.
