More than 5 Kinect games worth playing on Xbox One.
One of the coolest features of Microsoft’s Xbox One console is its new Kinect camera which allows users to navigate the system via voice commands and gestures. This relatively new technology can be intimidating for some Xbox One users but for those who have fully embraced it, many find it hard and even inconvenient to go back to a system that doesn’t log in users via face detection, allow them to pause a video with a voice command, and open apps instantly by asking the Xbox One to do so.
The Kinect has changed the way users control media on their television sets and it has also evolved the way many play games with a growing library of Kinect-enabled games now available on Xbox One that allow for gamers to play with their entire body as opposed to just a controller. Here’s a list of some of the better Kinect games on Xbox One accompanied by a mini-review and personal thoughts on each release. It’s by no means a complete list of Xbox One Kinect games but it is a good example of the variety of experiences available and a great place to get started.
Boom Ball for Kinect and Squid Hero for Kinect.
Both developed by Virtual Air Guitar Company, these two Kinect games are aimed at the younger gamer and provide some basic gameplay options without the complex interaction of other titles.
Boom Ball for Kinect is a simple ball game that kind of acts like a three dimensional version of pong. Balls are thrown at the player who must deflect them back at the screen with their hands while trying to aim the ball at obstacles onscreen. Because of its target demographic, adults may have trouble playing as the game will automatically assume all players are the height of a 12 year old child. Younger players will have no problem though and may even appreciate the handicap given to their adult competition.
Squid Hero for Kinect is more of an endless runner with players tasked with navigating a swimming squid around obstacles while trying to collect as many items as possible. The game is remarkably easy to play and is particularly fun for kids in 2 player mode with the customizable hats adding an extra level of playability. It’s a fairly simply game but one that gets more complex as it progresses with a challenging difficulty spike.
Neither Boom Ball for Kinect nor Squid Hero for Kinect feature graphics or sound that will blow users away but they’re also priced appropriately and are a very cheap investment for parents looking for an affordable way to keep their kids entertained.
Just Dance 2014 and Just Dance 2015.
The game franchise that most people associate with the Kinect, Just Dance is a fun dance game that’s enjoyable in solo play but works much better in multiplayer with up to eight local players now supported in both Just Dance 2014 and Just Dance 2015, and the soon to be released Just Dance 2016. The aim of the Just Dance games isn’t to necessarily train players to become the world’s best dancer but to have fun and “just dance”. The gameplay consists of mirroring the digital music video on screen and matching the moves that appear in a timely fashion.
The icons can often be ambiguous though (to the point of not resembling the characters’ dance moves at all) and around 60% of the songs’ choreography consists of walking around and striking poses instead of actually doing any dancing. Much in the same way Twister won’t teach anyone Yoga, Just Dance won’t improve anyone’s dance skills. It is super fun at parties though and the recently added online multiplayer and friend challenges provide significant content to keep many fans coming back for more. At least until the next annual instalment comes out.
Heavily promoted when it first launched alongside the Xbox One, Xbox Fitness is a bit of a mixed bag that unfortunately still hasn’t managed to live up to its potential. Designed to provide Xbox One owners with a way to stay fit, Xbox Fitness is available to all Xbox Gold subscribers and offers around 30 workout videos for free for users to play. These videos are essentially workout programs that play on the screen but with the added benefit of the Kinect sensor which tracks the user’s body movements and records intensity and even how much weight or stress is being applied to each muscle group. Xbox Fitness also records stats for each section of a workout and compares it to the user’s friends in the form of in-game challenges. The technology is fairly impressive and for the most part truly provides a great source of motivation… when it works.
While most of the video streaming issues that plagued Xbox Fitness for months after its launch have been fixed, very little else has been worked on in the last two years, leading to a sense of abandonment for many users despite promises of more updates coming soon. Body-tracking glitches are still a common occurrence and range from instances of next to zero activity measured to error messages instructing the user to speed up or slow down despite the fact they’re working at the same speed as the instructor on screen. The Kinect still has trouble tracking floor exercise such as sit-ups, push-ups, and plank (often not detecting any movement at all during these exercises) and there are also problems with the clunky user interface which oddly restricts itself to showing only one friend on the leaderboard and requires the navigation through several layers of menus and filters just to find the right workout. There is a lot of room for improvement with Xbox Fitness, though for a program that’s free for most Xbox One owners (who doesn’t have a Gold membership these days?) it’s worth checking out at least a few times. Recommended workouts: Anything by Mossa and Jullian Michaels.
By far one of the best Kinect games on Xbox One, Dance Central Spotlight is a dance game that actually wants to make the player a better dancer. Using a truly massive library of songs, each track features four unique routines that gradually introduce the required dance moves and build upon the previous move set to get even total non-dancers up to a level of coordination where they can gold star a Pro routine. There’s also Cardio and Strength routines, for those after more of an aerobic workout, as well as an extra beginner and advanced level routine in a completely new style to keep things fresh.
What really sets Dance Central Spotlight apart from the other dance games is its “Hey, DJ!” feature which allows single players to pause a song at any time, slow down sections, and practice specific moves on a loop until they’re mastered. Coupled with the game’s remarkably accurate body tracking, this creates a true sense of skill progression and satisfaction and makes it very difficult to go back to a game like Just Dance which feels more like dancing along to a music video by comparison.
The popular fruit slicing game has come to the Xbox One with a variety of extra mini-games in addition to the traditional Fruit Ninja mode of the original. This new version looks and sounds fantastic on the Xbox One with its Saturday morning cartoon-style characters and backgrounds. It’s obviously not the most historically or culturally accurate depiction of ninja but it is damn fun and showcases some of the best Kinect functionality in any Xbox One game. Hand gestures swipe exactly where the player expects them to on screen and the menu navigation is impressively fast and simple to use. Layers upon layers of unlockables make Fruit Ninja a game most will return to often and its local four person multiplayer capability makes it a great go-to for parties. Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 is a surprisingly really solid game that deserves a lot more attention than it’s been given.

Best Kinect Games for Xbox One.
The Kinect was initially bundled as standard with the Xbox One, but Microsoft split them up to lower the console's cost of entry. Kinect can transform your media experience with voice commands for changing television channels, navigating your console, and even asking Cortana for weather reports.
Kinect is also an excellent addition for light-hearted gaming, often ideal for younger audiences, families, and party scenarios. And hey, it's a great way to exercise! The threat of burning actual calories as you read this list of great games you're missing out on is minimal, however.
Update December 24th, 2016: Removed Xbox Fitness and Project Spark due to the closure of those services. Added Fruit Ninja Kinect 2!
Commander Cherry's Puzzled Journey.
You're already looking at the screen with an incredulous, squinty eye, and I GET IT. Have you seen this game?! It's crazy! Use your body to create platforms and bridges, while you use the controller to move Commander Cherry. I defy you to not fall in love with the rosy-red fleshed, handsomely mustachioed berry! Ok, so it's not the yoga-tastic workout you may anticipate, but it's a cool idea for a platformer and it's presentation is wild.
D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die.
D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die is an episodic game about a time-traveling detective who needs to solve his wife's murder in order to stop it from even occurring. It has distinctive cel-shaded art, which lends it a cool noir-style. The Kinect aspect isn't anything hardcore; voice commands and simple gestures are about as taxing as it gets. The Quick Time Event fight scenes make the Kinect a fun alternative to using a controller and if you don't want to control it using Kinect, you can turn it off.
Your shadow is the portal between two worlds. Strategically place your body in order to form connections between the worlds, but don't let looks deceive you. In this misty temple land are surprisingly difficult puzzles, to be solved by using your body in innovate ways. Expect to be stretched and splayed while still controlling your character through the temple. Elegent and incredibly unique, Fru will firmly become one of your favorite Kinect games ever.
Beatsplosion.
If the Kinect is great for anything it's rhythm games. Beatsplosion will have you literally jumping around the room, hopping from side to side and kicking and punching. It also has decent music to bop along to, while you're trying to smash the 'quarks' and other sub-atomic particles in time to the beat. It has two difficulty settings, easy and expert, and a number of belts to collect. This is definitely an exercise-dance game, so be prepared to be on your feet. Great for parties to see who can get the highest score in the most ostentatious manner.
Fantasia: Music Evolved.
Genuinely hailed as one of the best Kinect games ever made, there is more than meets the eye with Fantasia: Music Evolved. Developed by Harmonix, who bought us the Rock Band games, this game fuses dance in a way that will still make you tremble in nostalgic fantasy, regardless of your age. It's really easy to play and has modern and classic songs to dance to. If you ever wanted to get a feel for the frantic orchestral conducting we watched Mickey perform in Fantasia, this would be the perfect game for it. A colorful distraction for kids on a rainy afternoon. DLC is available to add extra tracks.
Kinect Sports Rivals.
To be honest, I'm of the opinion that the Kinect Sports games are some of the best Kinect games there have ever been. Period. They've always utilized the floor space really well, and have interesting ways to make someone exercise without it being mind-numbingly boring. Bowling and jet-ski races may be fairly obvious fare in a third installment for the Kinect Sports series, but how will you get on with the target shooting, or rock-climbing that is featured in Kinect Sports Rivals? Capture your likeness into the game, and participate!
Blue Estate.
One for older audiences, this dark comedy game is a shooter on rails, and based on the comic books from Viktor Kalvachev. Intuitive gameplay designs made specifically for Kinect's motion detection offers an immersive dip into the Los Angeles mafia underworld. It doesn't get much easier than sitting on your couch and literally making a finger gun and shooting at the tv. That's it! You might think that an on rails shooter without any kind of controller wouldn't work, but the tailored-for-Kinect finger gun method works, and works well.
Draw A Stickman: Epic.
You may already be familiar with the Stickman, having been a popular mobile game for some time now. In Draw A Stickman: Epic, you can use the Kinect to draw with a variety of brushes and colors to aid Stickman on his grand adventure. Another one-of-a-kind experience, Draw a Stickman is an RPG with the unlikeliest of heroes. Sketch and scribble your way through a unique storybook journey, as you save a Stickman Buddy of your own creation from the evil Zarp. Different pencils have different properties, and there are many combinations to try so get drawing to create the answers yourself and get saving your friend!
Dance Central Spotlight.
Okay, so you may not personally be the target demographic for this kind of game. In my case, dancing is best left to people who don't have two left feet made of over-cooked spaghetti. But flawless motion detection captures your every movement, and Harmonix prove yet again that they're one of the masters of interactive music games. Boasting more routines per song, and an improved Fitness Mode, the expandable library will see you shimmying to Pharrell and jiving to The B-52's. You can also play with a friend and see who has the best moves.
Bonus: if an interest in dancing strikes the little ones in your life, or your bad Dad dancing in public is becoming a national embarrassment, it could be a great way to expand your repertoire. Won't someone please think of the children?!
Squid Hero for Kinect.
A new Ice Age approaches, and the only hope for the planet is Squid Hero! Use both hands to move Squid around, and to control his tentacles as you flick icebergs out of the way, race down obstacle laden river rapids while moving your body, and even challenge your accuracy in timed rhythm stages. Save small animals stuck in dangerous situations, take on huge bosses and clear the screen for bonuses. With a gracious learning curve, some parts do get tricky but if you get stuck the game gives you the option to skip to the next stage. Would Squid Hero bail on the helpless animals? No. -judging you-
Rabbids Invasion: The Interactive TV Show.
If you have kids and they watch Nickleodeon, then you'll probably already know that there is an animated tv show called Rabbids Invasion. Once they were cheeky and silly with an adorable amount of toilet humor, now you probably gaze upon them with the same dead-eyed stare that you may give Minion memes on Facebook. But the kids love it, and that's all that matters, right? In Rabbids Invasion: The Interactive TV show, has 20 interactive episodes, and over 400 full motion activities to get involved in. Whether you're throwing eggs or pulling faces or walking like a deranged animal there's something for all the little ones to take part in, in Rabbids Invasion.
Fruit Ninja Kinect 2.
The hit fruit-slashing mobile game appeared on Kinect back on the Xbox 360, and Half Brick studios have returned to make use of the beefed up Kinect 2.0 on Xbox One.
Gameplay largely revolves around slashing bouncing fruit with your hands, complete with crazy physics, satisfying sound effects, and all sorts of addictive power-ups.
Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 features several fruit-murdering game modes, and is playable co-operatively or competitively for up to four players, making it one of the best party games for Kinect on the store.

The 25 best Xbox One games.
What are the best Xbox One games to buy? Take a look at this list and all will become clear.
The cream of the crop.
In case you missed it, Monster Hunter World is pretty popular right now. It\s sold well, and is good, but it's best Xbox One games good?
Well, not quite. There's been some online problems on Xbox One and while it's good, it's not really a hall of fame job. It was a similar story with the recent Vanishing of Ethan Carter, an atmospheric supernatural murder mystery that, like Monster Hunter World, is highly recommended. However, when you've only 25 places to fill they've got to go to the best of the best.
That means things like Assassin's Creed Origins and Wolfenstein 2 most recently. They're also two Xbox One X Enhanced games so if you have a 4K TV and an X, then those are great games to show everything off.
In terms of upcoming Xbox One games, Coming up soon we'll have Monster Hunter World on Jan 26, and Far Cry 5 on March 27, along with this little selection over the next couple of months.
Mar 13 - The Crew 2.
Mar 23 - A Way Out.
'Spring' - State of Decay 2.
'Spring - Crackdown 3.
Only time will tell if any of those will make it into the 25 best Xbox One games list.
For the meantime, though the best Xbox One games is still full of classics like Fallout 4 , Cuphead , Titanfall 2 , Minecraft and Gears of War 4 . If it's an essential Xbox One title it's here, and as there's only 25 places competition only the best get a look in. Every time something new comes alone we review it, appraise it and then, if it's good enough, it might be added here.
25. Final Fantasy 15.
The Final Fantasy name isn't exactly synonymous with Microsoft's console, but we're happy just the same as Final Fantasy 15 is easily one of the best RPGs of the year. It blends the vast open-worlds of Western RPGs with Final Fantasy's hallmark over-the-top anime absurdity to great effect, crafting a world based on the highways and byways of Middle America while filling that world with ferocious monsters, massive crystals, and powerful magic. There are times when Final Fantasy 15 feels like an idiosyncratic mishmash of ideas, but when you throw everything together - the strange world, the thrilling, real-time combat, the lovable characters who stick with you for your entire journey - it becomes something much greater than the sum of its parts. It becomes one of the best Final Fantasy games in ages; a game well worth the wait.
24. Cuphead.
After delays that led to maybe just a touch of apathy, Cuphead is here and has instantly become one of the best shooters all time (according to our review). While the presentation is crafted beautifully from 1930 cartoon art - things like Betty Boop shorts and Disney's Silly Symphonies - this takes gameplay cues from sources like Mega Man, Contra, Metal Slug, and Gunstar Heroes. The levels aren’t huge but it’s the challenge, not the size that matters here as you dodge bullets and learn enemy patterns. Everything tests your skills and reactions in a range of interesting ways and, most importantly, are a joy to beat.
23. Halo: Master Chief Collection.
*braces for complaints* Yes, we are well aware of the problems that plagued this particular entry, but now that it works, there's no doubting the craftsmanship here. Bungie's genius meets 343's love in a package that truly does justice to an industry-shaking legacy. Buffed-up, revarnished and back in the shop window, The Master Chief Collection leaves us to wonder if Halo always looked so lovely. And you know what? It more or less did.
Is that mug a Mimic? How about that chair? Or even that corpse. There's nothing quite like exploring Talos-1, just waiting for its terrifying alien predators to appear when you least expect it before splatting them senseless with a wrench. But that's only the beginning of the joys of Prey. Before long, you're expertly juggling Neuromods, experimenting with new abilities and attempting to stay out of sight of horrific Typhons and the frankly intimidating Nightmare. Prey requires to explore every inch of its space station, heading into tunnels when you'd rather go the other way and hunting down corpses of those who came before. Add in the twisting narrative that gradually unravels before you and this is an instant addition to our best Xbox One games list. Just remember your GLOO gun. You'll need it.
21. Rainbow Six Siege.
The first few minutes of a Rainbow Six: Siege match feel more like a slasher film than an all-guns-blazing FPS. The pitter-patter of combat booted feet sounds through the roof. Defenders erect Home Alone defences. Was that the whine of a rappel buckle? It's a sense of tension that beats most horror games. And once all hell does break loose, you're suddenly thrown into the midst of deep, strategical, brutally unforgiving warfare. Ripe with tactical options and built for "one more go" appeal, this is by far Xbox One’s smartest multiplayer shooter.
20. Halo 5: Guardians.
Halo's always been a balance of campaign with multiplayer, but this entry's a tad lopsided. The story of Locke chasing Chief isn't quite the era-defining moment we were hoping for but, luckily, it's the series-best multiplayer that gets our visors misty. Halo 5: Guardians offers so very much to prospective online warmongers. Arena is a return to the Halo of old, tense cerebral skirmishes that are an oasis of sanity in a sea of crude shooters. If you fancy some madness, then you have Warzone - mega-battles powered by a desperately addictive card-collecting system. And more's being added - 343 just reintroduced Big Team Battles and a new version of classic map, Blood Gulch for free. We're home.
19. Ori and the Blind Forest.
Imagine a lavish, beautiful storybook world… that slams shut on your stupid, bleeding fingers for seven brutal hours. This is Ori and the Blind Forest, the result of Microsoft handing a group of retro fanatics enough money (and freedom) to make a worthy successor to the platformers of old. Not only is this a pitch-perfect update to the formula set up by Metroid and Castlevania, combining mechanical satisfaction with tear-jerking narrative sequences, it's also quite probably the best-looking 2D game of all time. So yeah, it's pretty special.
18. Middle-earth: Shadow of War.
With a bigger, richer world and more tightly honed mechanics Shadow of War is a great sequel - the combat is more immediate and satisfying, the environments more detailed varied, and everything combines beautifully. It's also one of the best Xbox One X enhanced games if you want to show off all that power. This is a big game though - seriously, seriously huge. 15 hours or so will finish the prologue; another 25 odd will unlock the rest of the map, so don't pick this up for a quick fling - you need to commit. The series' nemesis system that defines the series has had expanded to create a twisting narrative of encounters, defeats and victories as you meet and battle various orcs - yours and their progress defined by who wins the fight. This time it's also been expanded to include castles you can storm, building and training an army up to the task. Even if you don't like Lord of the Rings, it's a massive and exciting open world to explore.
17. FIFA 18.
It's another step on for FIFA 18 this year, with some great tweaks to the action: taking a shot from a distance now has more impact, crosses are improved with a genuine whip added to the ball. AI's been improved as well with far more individual character and personality to different star's playing styles and, while lower league team don't feels quite as good, teams do have different feeling tactics when you play them. The continuation of the single player Journey also continues to impress with an exciting and even occasionally touching campaign as you follow his career. It's this mode that gives FIFA 18 the edge over PES this year as it's leagues ahead of any comparable mode you might find in similar games. And, finally, the monster that is FIFA Ultimate Team is improved by Squad Battles which let you progress better without spending real money. A welcome addition if chasing cards and coins is big part of your life.
16. Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus.
Wolfenstein: The New Order is one of the most unique, brutal, brave, hilarious, and intelligent shooters of the generation so far. MachineGames' sequel, The New Colossus, confidently doubles down on all of that. Moving BJ Blazkowicz's very personal war further into the alternative-universe '60s, and transposing it to an America under Nazi rule, The New Colossus is uncompromisingly relevant. It's a smart, sensitive, and emotive discussion of callousness, prejudice, and cruelty, that nevertheless knows how to be fun at all times. A biting portrait of human failures and social horrors, that does its biting with big robot teeth and hatchet blades. It's a game that exemplifies heart and brains throughout, but never with more unremitting flair than when it comes to the noble art of tearing Nazis to shreds with bloody and balletic style.
15. Battlefield 1.
We were worried DICE had set themselves up for a fall with a WW1 shooter, when Battlefield 1 was announced. Taking on one of the most bloody and tragic conflicts in human history isn't typically the best starting point for a fun game. But the anthology format is a masterstroke, using different perspectives to capture the sensational action of conflict, while sensitively showing the human cost of war. The story of the British chauffeur turned tank driver alone is more emotionally nuanced than anything we've seen from Battlefield before. But this isn't some weepy drama – it's a WW1 epic, an overwhelming shooter like nothing else on Xbox One, with 64 player multiplayer mode to keep you coming back. It's a gamble that paid off. Just be careful how you Tweet about it next time, OK EA?
14. Rocket League.
Nobody expected this to be quite such an explosive success but then think objectively and put the words ‘cars’ and ‘football’ together and suddenly it all makes beautifully insane sense. Both local and online modes for its petrol fuelled madness makes Rocket League multiplayer gold. Slews of DLC - Back To The Future’s DeLorean anyone - since release and now a new Xbox One/PC multiplayer option means it’s now bigger and better than ever, and there’s no better time to put your hand on your wallet and foot on the gas. Make it one of your life… goals.
13. Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Don’t be fooled by its frostbitten landscapes; this is the kind of barn-burning action-adventure that, until recently, only (ahem) other consoles used to get. Pivoting effortlessly from digital sightseeing to cinematic survival, then into stealth before exploding into brutal action, this is truly blockbuster stuff - appropriate for one of gaming's biggest icons. Amidst a gaming landscape packed with open worlds that sap full weeks of your life away, that Rise of the Tomb Raider packs all its thrills into a dizzying ten hours isn't just welcome, it's an accomplishment - this is non-stop fun. Except when Lara's murdered by your fumbling fingers. That's not so nice.
12. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.
Let's face it. Resident Evil had gone a bit like a foot left out of the fridge too long. A bit, well, off . After the glorious heady heights of Resi 4 defining the third person shooter as we know it, it all got a bit mediocre. Well 2017 is the year Resi got its groove back and you should be very afraid. Turning the franchise on its head, Resident Evil 7 is a first person survival terror-fest that sees you sneaking through a decrepit Louisiana mansion hunting for your missing wife. Texas Chainsaw Massacre style fiends? Check. Horrific body horror? Check that too. Add in a story that'll leave you forgetting to breathe for a little too long and Resident Evil 7 manages to be an exhilarating rollercoaster ride that reinvents the franchise. Sure you'll recognise those green herbs but this is a new brand of horror that just demands you creep through its hallways even if it feels like you should run in the opposite direction.
11. Forza Motorsport 7.
Improved AI, collisions, handling - what Forza Motorsport 7 gets right reads like a list of everything a racing game should do perfectly. Cars all feel great to control, giving you the confidence you need to push the handling to its limits - drifting on cue, or hugging the rails when you need dig the tires in. In fact, throughout, this a game that tweaks and adjusts everything the previous installment got wrong. It’s all about delivering the best player experience and creating a game that’s both realistic and fun. Some of the progression is a little demanding, with numerous barriers to surmount as you collect cars and win events, but there’s nothing that really take the shine of one the greatest racers currently available.
10. Gears of War 4.
It was during Act Four, when the storm was raging, bullets were flying from all sides, blood was gushing all over us as we chainsawed close-up enemies and then tried to aim at those sniping us from afar, when suddenly the music rose at the perfect moment. It was as if God himself was singing 'I'm really sorry for Gears of War: Judgment'. Apology accepted. A bloodbath with real brains, Gears of War 4 adds an army of new monsters, each demanding fresh tactics to dispatch and bringing new ideas to how we approach combat. It means the first sequel since Gears 2 that can surprise newcomers without sacrificing the excellent cover-shooting that made the series famous. Bloody essential.
9. Titanfall 2.
Any FPS that lets you run along walls and then double jump into a giant mechanical Titan instantly has our attention. Titanfall 2 does that and so much more. “But where's our single-player?” we moaned, when the first Titanfall came to Xbox in 2014. “Fine!” retorted Respawn. “How about for this sequel, we tell the story of a pilot and his Titan? One where you steadily unlock Titan weapons that look powerful enough to burn the universe in half? How about a stage wherein you can travel through time at the touch of a button? How about several hours of dizzyingly paced, ideas-stuffed action that makes every shooter since we made Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare look lazy?” Well that certainly shut us up. Throw in Bounty Hunt, a capitalist nightmare of an essential multiplayer mode, and we promise never to accuse Respawn of laziness again.
8. Overwatch.
Well if Valve aren't going to bother making Team Fortress 3, we'll have Blizzard do it instead. The World of Warcraft studio had never made a shooter before, so it makes no sense at all that Overwatch is one of the best multiplayer FPS' ever. A ridiculously varied cast of colourful heroes, each with powers that should logically break the game (Tracer can travel back through time for crying out loud!) Yet it all checks and balances, letting us fire bows and arrows, sky dragons, walls of ice and whip chains through the air for hours and hours without ever feeling like its cheaty or unfair. Months later, and still the only flaw we can find is Tracer's horrid cockney accent. By this logic, if Blizzard ever offer to make us dinner, expect world hunger to be eradicated within the hour.
7. Destiny 2.
After the endless, life absorbing life sink of the original game what could Destiny 2 possibly do to beat it? The answer is actually obvious: more of the same, only richer, more accessible and. just. more Destiny. The sequel takes nearly every element of the space travelling, gun collecting, number raising MMO and polishes it to a fine sheen. You can see almost every area where Bungie learned from the last game, making the areas you explore richer with things to do, adding depth to both the systems that progress your character, and hte activities you take on to do so. Few games mix combat, multiplayer and character progressions so well and it's an addictive draw as a result.
6. Grand Theft Auto 5.
Gaming's biggest blockbuster deserves its place at the head of the list. GTA 5 was already an excellent, brutal, beautiful open-world game, and is made even more so on Xbox One with a visual tidy-up, a glut of new content and the addition of first-person pedestrian-beating. With the addition of online Heists to make its online component even more enticing, Rockstar edges closer to making a game world so vast and varied that you could start to do away with anything else. Which, come to think of it, was probably the plan all along.
5. Minecraft.
As simple or as complex as you want it to be, Minecraft is the perfect example of a game that lives up to the hype. Whether you just fancy pottering around in creative mode, or jumping into survival to take on various blocky nasties in your quest for the End, Mojang's masterpiece always feels perfectly yours and unique. This is a world worth just wandering in for eternity. Plus, the constant evolution with new packs, new textures and gameplay tweaks means that Minecraft is always moving forward. If you thought it was just about stacking up green blocks, it's time to catch up.
4. Assassin's Creed Origins.
Assassin's Creed Origins is the long awaited reboot the series has needed. And ye gods, is it ever exactly what we hoped for. It's also a flagship Xbox One X Enhanced game so a great way to show off your new console. Remodelling Assassin's Creed into a true open-world RPG, full of creative stabbing, character stats, and malleable gameplay (What is best in life, Conan?), the ancient Egyptian adventure is a vast, sprawling, actual, bona fide country of a game, packing with detail, side-quests, and secrets to tackle your own way, at any time you want.
With the overhauled combat now fuelled by a fully customisable gear system (Want twin daggers that put people to sleep, and a poisonous shield? Or a sword that buffs your health, and a bow with controllable arrows? You can have all of these things), any hint of the old series’ weary gameplay is long gone. Packed with wit, warmth, and a staggering scale of options, it's really rather fitting that the game that goes back to the beginning of the story is also the one that gives Assassin's Creed a fresh start.
3. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.
If we didn't know better (or should that be worse?), we'd say Konami took the Hideo Kojima brand off of his last stab at MGS 5: The Phantom Pain because it feels quite so different to his previous efforts. Yes, it's packed with the off-kilter jokes, mechanical ingenuity and conspiracy theories so wild they're seemingly drawn from the darkest of the internet's depths - but at it's core, this is a very different kind of Hideo Kojima game.
2. Fallout 4.
We sort of knew what we were getting. It's big, it's buggy, it's Bethesda. Fallout 4 is a natural evolution, bringing with it the often aimless exploration, gentle humour and moral greyitude of the last two instalments, while propping it all up with a new-gen veneer. They might not be enormous shifts, but main character voice acting, better gunplay and (shock) not having to look inside crates to loot them all make this a streamlined version of a now-classic formula. Frame rate dips and occasionally horrifying glitches rear their heads as usual, but it's difficult to feel too bad when there's simply so much going on. Once again, Bethesda has crammed several games' worth of joyously inconsequential stuff in here, resulting in one of the most compulsive, moreish games of this generation. Get stuck in, and you won't emerge for weeks.
1. Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
One of the most immersive RPGs ever made - a standout, mutable storyline, endlessly satisfying detective-cum-hitman Contracts, and side quests deeper than many games' main campaigns. The Witcher 3's world is one of the few game spaces to deserve that title - full of political intrigue, folklore and gross beasts to slice into ribbons. And all of that's failing to mention CD Projekt RED's raft of free DLC, and a couple of expansion packs - the first of which, Hearts of Stone, is responsible for this shooting up to the highest reaches of this list. Beautiful, rewarding and essential, this is a game we'll remember for years and years to come.
