So, I acquired an Xbox One today. This is my first Xbox console, having previously gotten by with Sony and Nintendo consoles. For this generation, I've had a PS4 for years, but have just about run out of games to play on it. I was looking into getting a Switch, but price gougers made me decide otherwise. What eventually brought me over to consider an Xbox was their Game Pass subscription, which having looked into is actually a pretty good deal. I'd been using Gamefly for years for my PS4 games, and this service is cheaper and I won't have to wait for a game to ship to me. Later I'll switch between the two as needed when future games come out.
Here's what I've currently "saved" on my Game Pass page to start downloading as soon as I'm ready to activate the service:
As it turned out, all the exclusives I knew of and wanted to play (these being Sunset Overdrive, Recore, Ori and the Blind Forrest, Quantum Break, and to a lesser extent Alan Wake) were all on Game Pass. So that worked out well. But there may be others I don't know about.
That's where YOU come in.
Since I've had every Sony system so far, any cross platform games on Xbox I've likely already considered and/or played. Also, if a game started out as an Xbox exclusive but later got ported to PS4, I've likely looked into those as well. Best example I can think of is the Ninja Gaiden series, which I've played (the Sigmas).
Also, I know the main first party series for Xbox are Gears of War, Halo, and the Forza series. But I'm not interested in any of those. What I'm mainly interested in are any odd-ball exclusives that have been released throughout the years, likely third-party games that never got ported to anything else. Open to all genres here except I guess racing and sports games. Just anything that might be interesting or fun.
Also on backwards compatibility, it looks like they've made sure a bunch of 360 games work on the Xbox One and even some original Xbox ones as well. So interested in games from all three generations.
