The 9 Best Xbox One Shooter Games to Buy in 2018. Play shooter games with the best graphics, sound, goriness and more. From the first days of the original Xbox in 2001, through the Xbox 360, and now on the Xbox One in 2017, shooters are easily the most popular genre among Xbox fans. With a wide variety of settings from World Wars, to alien invasions, to gory M-rated affairs (in both first and third-person), there is a shooter game to satisfy just about any player. Read on to see which are the best shooter games of 2017. When it comes to pure shooting gameplay, Destiny easily stands above every other shooter on Xbox One. Thanks to a decade of making the (also great playing) Halo games, developer Bungie has really perfected first-person-shooter gameplay with Destiny. Honestly, shooting stuff just feels great in this sci-fi adventure that has you jetting around the Solar System to protect Earth from invading aliens. The controls are extremely responsive and precise, and can more than keep up with the fast-paced (and oftentimes hectic) encounters in both campaign and multiplayer. It is rare to have a shooter where every weapon you find is a viable option, but Destiny is balanced enough to accommodate any play style whether you want to use SMGs, pistols, assault rifles, sniper rifles, rocket launchers or shotguns. Because each of those weapon types also has many variations with different stats and abilities (different damage types, different fire rates, different damage rates, etc.), fine-tuning your arsenal to feature exactly what you want is a big part of the fun and why Destiny can be so addictive to keep playing once you pick it up. Continue Reading Below. Star Wars Battlefront isn’t the best overall great shooter because of its imprecise feeling controls and poor weapon balance, but it does do two things extremely well that make it worth playing anyway: It looks amazing and delivers Star Wars fanservice by the boatload. There are large scale battles with AT-AT and AT-ST walkers stomping around, TIE Fighters and A-Wings dueling in the air, dozens of Stormtroopers and Rebels fighting on the ground. And characters such as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader are running through the thick of it all. The best part is that the graphics are absolutely stunning to the point the game looks almost realistic. Levels on sandy Tatooine and snowy Hoth look great, but maps on the forest moon of Endor in particular look especially incredible because the dense plant life is lush and green, and the sunlight filtering through the canopy high overhead bathes everything in an undeniably realistic light. Better yet, it all looks this good and has so much onscreen action at once, but the frame rate never drops below 60FPS. Star Wars Battlefront is a technical marvel that is easily one of the best looking games on Xbox One. Continue Reading Below. Competitive player versus player or team-based deathmatch is always the most popular game mode in every shooter, and the most popular game series overall among multiplayer shooter fans is Call of Duty. The latest Call of Duty, Black Ops III, is the most feature-rich of them all with a ton of different modes such as free-for-all, team deathmatch, capture the flag, multiple point control variations, elimination modes and more. And they're available both online and offline with CPU bots. In terms of sheer quantity and variety of content, Black Ops III is absolutely fantastic, so if you want to sink your teeth into a hardcore competitive shooter on Xbox Live, Call of Duty Black Ops III is the one to pick. The Halo Master Chief Collection is a great title to have in your Xbox One collection for a number of reasons: It is four separate games with complete single-player campaigns and four distinct versions of multiplayer all in one package, and they all look awesome and play great. But we’re singling it out for it’s best-in-class co-op play. Being able to experience Master Chief’s story all the way from landing on the first mysterious alien Halo ring through the events back on Earth in Halo 4 (which in turn lead up to Halo 5) in one seamless experience alongside your friends is simply amazing. All four of the story campaigns are playable cooperatively with at least two players in local split-screen or online, and Halo 3 and Halo 4 offer four-player online co-op. Continue Reading Below. Most shooter campaigns tend to be tightly scripted experiences where you’re funneled down a corridor from one enemy encounter to another, but there are a few games out there that drop you into an open world and set you loose do whatever you want. Our favorite of these is Far Cry 4, which takes place in a stunningly beautiful fictional country in the Himalayas. The game gives you free reign to explore anywhere and everywhere, from tropical forests in the lowlands all the way up to snowy mountaintops, as your character joins the fight in a civil war between rebels and a ruthless dictator. You can play through story missions, of course, but your time is just as well spent hunting animals such as tigers, deer, rhino and honey badgers. Or you can climb radio towers to open up more of the map, attack enemy outposts, deliver supplies to villages and more. The core shooting gameplay is fantastic and the variety of weapon types allow you to go in guns blazing with shotguns and assault rifles, silently snipe enemies from a distance, or anything in-between. While a lot of shooter fans ignore the single-player campaign and jump right into multiplayer, there are still some solid stories being told in the genre. The best recent story comes from Tom Clancy’s: The Division. The Division takes place in Manhattan after it has been decimated by a virus that was intentionally distributed through infected money on Black Friday. Most surviving civilians have been evacuated, but bodies still line the streets, and gangs as well as other dangerous elements have emerged in the chaos (the perpetrator of the viral infection is still at large). Interestingly, The Division doesn’t simply tell the overall story of the infection and your allies’ task of curing it, but it also tells smaller stories of individual citizens. For example, you’ll find cell phone messages between people scattered all over the city and you can eventually piece these individual messages together into full conversations that tell you exactly what happened to normal people on the ground when the outbreak happened. These side stories are easy to miss completely, but are some of the best parts of The Division. Continue Reading Below. When it comes to shooters, the quality of the sound isn’t measured by how pretty the sweeping orchestral music might be, but rather by the room shaking bass of an explosion and the satisfying crack of gunfire echoing across a battlefield. Shooting games just feel better to play when what you’re doing sounds loud, powerful and dangerous, and few shooters deliver those raw visceral thrills quite as well as Wolfenstein: The New Order. Taking place in an alternate history 1960s Europe where Germany won World War II, you take on Nazi enemies with some of the loudest and meanest sounding shotguns and machine guns in all of gaming. The music in The New Order is a surprising mix of industrial heavy metal and even dubstep rather than the patriotic marches you might expect. But the game also has lots of quiet moments with no music at all, and it allows the great weapon and explosion sound effects to tell the story and convey emotions instead. Turn up the surround volume or use good headphones because Wolfenstein: The New Order’s sound design will blow you away. Most shooters are designed with teen and adult hardcore gamers in mind, which means they aren’t always the most appropriate or accessible for younger players or more casual gamers who don’t want to take the game quite so seriously. If you’d like to play an online shooter but prefer a more easygoing family-friendly experience, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is a great choice. These backyard battles between technology-driven zombies and noble plants protecting nature are generally not too intense, so players of any skill level can jump in and have a good time. The cute and funny cast of plant and zombie characters are not only undeniably charming and funny, but they all have unique and distinct play styles and abilities. That means anyone can find a role they like, whether it is a frontline attacker, medic or support class. Garden Warfare 2 is playable both online against other players or in single-player and local split-screen, thanks to computer-controlled bots that can be added to all of the game modes. Continue Reading Below. In the early days of the shooter genre, the unflinching depiction of violence and gore in games were a huge shock and had a big impact on the popularity of the genre. Things have changed since then, however, and most modern shooters have stepped back a bit from having gore for gore’s sake, but there are still some games carrying the flag for good, old-fashioned ultra-violence like Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. Gears of War’s story of alien monsters emerging from underground paves the way for some of the most brutal action of any game on Xbox One. Enemies and allies are blown apart by explosives and riddled with bullets. One of the coolest weapons in the game is an assault rifle with a built-in chainsaw, so you can only imagine what it’s capable of in close quarters. A common way to finish off a wounded opponent is with a stomp to their head into the ground. Of course, there’s more to games (including this one) than just violence, but sometimes that’s just what you’re in the mood for, and Gears of War Ultimate Edition will more than satisfy.

This article specifically covers shooters where the camera is set in either the first or third person, and gun-based combat makes up the primary core of the experience. For the longest time, Xbox has been considered the home of console shooters, with its pioneering Xbox Live network atop the Halo franchise. The situation hasn't changed! Here are our picks for the best first and third-person shooters on Xbox One. Prey is a tremendous title that looks as though it could become some kind of sleeper hit, but that's totally unfair. Prey is a masterpiece. In Prey, you play as Morgan Yu, a world-renowned scientist working at the TranStar corporation. TranStar has transformed the world with its technology, from sentient hovering robots to brain-modifying Neuromods, that have the capability to grant people skills such as language learning and complex, advanced mathematics in a mere instant. TranStar's orbital Talos I space station is the site of many of these technological advances, and it's not long after you start playing you'll discover something has gone very, very wrong. Now overrun with malevolent Typhon creatures, hungry for blood. It's up to Morgan Yu, a pile of Neuromods and prototype, 2030s weaponry to find out the truth about TranStar, and what Morgan's sibling, TranStar CEO Alex Yu, has been up to. Prey represents the convergence of Deus Ex's huge, open-map layouts and experimental RPG shooter combat, Bioshock's tense, moody atmosphere, and Half Life's theoretical science-heavy plot. If you're a fan of any of those games, you have to consider Prey. Prey is available for $25 to $40. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is a bit of a phenomenon, and even in its clunky Early Access state on Xbox One, it's a tour de force of suspenseful action. In PUBG, it's you (or a small squad of friends) versus 100 other players in an all-out battle to the death. Fight across a huge open-world map, loot weapons on-site, commandeer vehicles, and bash people with frying pans. All is fair in love and war. PUBG is available in early access for Xbox One at $30. Fortnite Battle Royale. Fortnite Battle Royale (BR) is a PUBG clone with a base-building cartoon-style twist, and it's completely free to play. In Fortnite Battle Royale, the game follows similar themes as PUBG, in the sense that it's you or a small squad versus 100 other players in sizeable open-world maps. However, in Fortnite, you can construct walls, towers, and other types of fortifications to help you survive. For what Fortnite BR lacks in PUBG's gritty realism, it makes up for it with a unique take on the format and general value, considering it's free. Battlefield 1. Battlefield 1 is without a doubt, the quintessential shooter experience available on Xbox One today. It's unprecedented, and dynamic open-world shooter gameplay soars to all new heights with environmental destruction not seen in the series since Bad Company 2. Taking place in World War 1, Battlefield 1 steps into new territory for a big budget AAA shooter, bringing us the horrors of the world's first industrial-scale war, complete with an extensive arsenal of vicious and inelegant WW1-era weapons. Explosive 32 vs. 32 multiplayer, sobering, historical campaign gameplay, blisteringly gorgeous Frostbite Engine visuals, and rapid and stable dedicated server infrastructure – Battlefield 1 is DICE's masterpiece. Battlefield 1 costs between $27 and $60 with various bundles, but it's often on sale. DOOM is the triumphant return of one of the industry's most celebrated shooter franchises. Going back to basics, DOOM delivers piles of the series' core promise — the ability to kill legions of angry demons in all manner of bloody ways. Rapid executions, a huge and deadly arsenal, a clever plot and lengthy campaign makes DOOM an example to be followed. Its multiplayer mode isn't too shabby either! DOOM can generally be found for anywhere between $60 and $30, depending on where you buy. Call of Duty: WWII. Call of Duty (CoD) has suffered a decline in recent years, as its classic formula became twisted with gimmicks and other features fans of the series didn't really ask for. Thankfully, the latest installment, Call of Duty: WWII is a return to form for the aging franchise, putting players back into its classic twitch-shooter boots-on-the-ground format. Call of Duty: WWII, as its name suggests, takes place in the Second World War. Recently accompanied by dedicated servers, players can enjoy classic CoD combat in all of its gritty glory, complete with a versus CPU zombie mode! CoD: WWII is available now for $60. Titanfall 2. Titanfall 2 is the second entry in the futuristic mech twitch-shooter from the creators of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Take on blisteringly fast and fluid first-person multiplayer combat across several different competitive modes. Unlock a wide array of new class-based mechs, loadouts, and weapons, boasting far more content than its predecessor. Titanfall 2 also rectifies one of the original game's biggest criticisms, a lack of campaign, delivering a story mode that is surprisingly engaging. If you're a fan of Call of Duty-like twitch shooters, Titanfall 2 takes the format to new heights, often literally. You can grab Titanfall 2 for anywhere between $10 to $40, depending on where you buy it from. Gears of War 4. Gears of War 4 is the latest entry in the iconic Xbox exclusive franchise. Take control of JD Fenix in an explosive co-op campaign that boasts some of the most impressive cinematic visuals the Xbox One has to offer. When you're done with the campaign, head into the five-player Horde mode and battle waves of increasingly difficult enemies and bosses, get addicted to a rewarding and deep class-based progression system and unlock piles of cosmetic skins and weapons. If competitive multiplayer is more your thing, Gears of War 4 delivers one of the most finely tuned and six versus modes in the series so far, steeped in visceral, cover-based third-person combat. Gears of War 4 is a great all-rounder for around $40. Halo 5 is the latest entry in the Xbox's flagship franchise, and it takes the franchise into uncharted territory. A new enemy is threatening to subjugate humanity, and it's up to Master Chief to unravel the truth behind this new evil. Halo 5 doesn't just boast a classic Halo campaign, but also some of the tightest visuals and gameplay in the business. The real joy of Halo 5, however, is its multiplayer mode, which has been continuously updated with free content since launch. Split between competitive Arena and an exciting Warzone mode, Halo 5 has the potential to keep you engaged for a very long time. You can pick up Halo 5 for around $20. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Wolfenstein: The New Order kick-started a renaissance of high-quality reboots of classic shooters with its moving reimagining of the franchise that started it all, and its sequel, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus continues that trend. Play as William "B.J." Blazkowicz in a surprisingly deep single-player story set in an alternative reality where the Nazis won WWII. Navigate the horrors of a totalitarian world crammed with mechanically-enhanced Nazis begging to be killed with Wolfenstein's responsive and bloody shooter combat. Wolfenstein: The New Order and The New Colossus are examples to be followed when it comes to rebooting classic franchises. Both are tremendous campaign shooters, and Wolfenstein II comes with Xbox One X enhancements to boot. Wolfenstein II is available for $60. Overwatch is a purely multiplayer experience from Blizzard Entertainment, best known for Warcraft and Diablo. Overwatch is a 6 vs. 6 class-based shooter where players work together to beat the enemy team in a range of objective-based maps and game modes. Featuring an eclectic cast of colorful heroes, Overwatch has captured the imagination of millions of gamers with Pixar-style art and shimmering gameplay polish. Overwatch is a pure multiplayer shooter that emphasizes team play above all else. Exciting, dynamic, and fun . Overwatch is available for around $60. Metro Redux. Metro Redux is one of the most atmospheric and immersive shooters on Xbox One, and it's also among the best for value. Comprised of two remastered titles, Metro Redux tells the story of the Ranger Artyom, as he attempts to survive a post-apocalyptic world where the surface of the Earth has become inhospitable. Roaming beasts, radioactive fallout, and cosmic anomalies plague the remaining population, who have turned Russia's Metro system into humanity's last bastion. Metro Redux is as haunting as it is atmospheric, and will leave a lasting impression on fans of deep single player shooter campaigns everywhere. Redux is often on sale for a very low price, and will given you dozens of hours of play for $30. Rainbow Six Siege. Unlike a majority of today's first-person shooters, Rainbow Six Siege puts strategy and forethought at the heart of its gameplay. With flawless portrayal of atmospheric tension, the game sits among the most immersive of multiplayer shooters to date. Although it initially had a rocky start, dozens of free updates and content drops have rejuvenated the series which now boasts a substantial following. Rainbow Six Siege is available for around $50 digitally or $30 physically, but it's often on sale due to its service nature. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a unique entry on this list, because its gunplay is more a means to induce horror, instead of being central to its gameplay. Still, Resident Evil 7's shift to a first-person viewpoint, coupled with its extremely satisfying and well-designed shooting mechanics, firmly earn it a place on this list as a shooter fans must check out. Ethan Winters is on a mission to find his wife, who has been missing for several years. After tracking her down to a decrepit plantation deep in a Louisiana swamp, Ethan falls ever deeper into a twisted nightmare that's as terrifying as it is engrossing. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a true return to form for the series that fans of horror games must not overlook. RE7 is available for around $30. Sniper Elite 4. Sniper Elite 4 is an incredible sniping game with an emphasis on tactics and stealth. Playing as Karl Fairburne, your goal is to sneak, snipe and stab your way through World War 2 Italy, on a mission to destabilize Mussolini's fascist regime. Sniper Elite 4 grants the player various guns and gadgets to deploy across huge, detailed open-world maps. As its namesake suggests, Sniper Elite 4 features industry leading bullet ballistics for its sniping mechanics, complete with gloriously gory x-ray kill cams. This is a game for shooter fans who enjoy a bit of stealth gameplay on the side. Sniper Elite 4 is available for around $60. There are our picks for the best shooters on Xbox One today. Are there any missing from this list you'd like to see added? Let us know in the comments. Updated January 16, 2017: We updated this list to include Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, Call of Duty: WWII, Fortnite BR, and PUBG. Jez Corden.

Most of the arcade shooters are not easy. But there is a strategy that once figured out, is very satisfying. I suggest taking a look at the achievements. Love this game! 6 out of 6 people found this helpful. A good challenge. I have had this since it came out, and I really enjoy it. It is fast and real challenging. I have 1 achievement left and I can't seem to get it. I come back every few months and give it a go. When I have friends over I like trying to go for top score together and challenging each other. Good simple game for cheap. Starts off easy, but gets really difficult as time goes on. I recommend it to single player competitive people. It is a lot of fun. 8 out of 12 people found this helpful. I like nothing about it.its buggy and everytime u get rammed by a portal it makes it harder everytime and u cant lower the dificulty. AND ITS ALREADY EXTREMELY HARD DO NOT BUY. 11 out of 23 people found this helpful. Translate to English. Язык Microsoft Store: United States - English.

GamesRadar+ 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. Some online stores give us a small cut if you buy something through one of our links.

Ruiner for Xbox One review: An ultra-cool cyberpunk shooter with lots of splashes of red. Devolver Digital has published some ballsy shooters, from Hotline Miami and Shadow Warrior to the Serious Sam series. Now they maintain tradition by unleashing Ruiner on Xbox One, Windows 10, PlayStation 4, and Steam. An incredibly slick cyberpunk shooter set in a fascinating dark future world, Ruiner is destined for sleeper hit status. Moreover, Ruiner is a Xbox Play Anywhere title meaning if you buy it for Xbox you get a free copy for PC and vice versa. Dark, stylish, and sexy. Even though Ruiner is an indie game (developed by new Warsaw-based studio Reikon) in the twin-stick shooter genre, it could be mistaken for a AAA game. The visuals feature a bold, futuristic art style drowning in red colors and shadows. Every little piece of technology shows expert design, thought, and attitude. Ruiner's cinematics are much more dramatic and filmlike than typical indie games (though they lack voice acting). The haunting electronic soundtrack really cements the game's ultra-stylish status. Each song is catchy, intriguing, and propulsive, not unlike Grasshopper Manufacture's Let it Die on PlayStation 4. Compared to fellow story-based indie shooter Time Recoil, Ruiner is in a whole different league. Become an unwitting cybernetic assassin. Ruiner begins with a playable prologue in which our helmeted protagonist finds himself on a mission to kill the boss of a corporation called Heaven. A mysterious hacker called Wizard keeps flashing images and instructions to "KILL BOSS" into your mind, though Heaven itself and the boss's identity are unknown to you. Eventually, the connection to your cybernetic brain gets hacked by an even more mysterious female named Her who has other plans for our protagonist. The prologue doubles as a tutorial level, teaching Ruiner's many gameplay mechanics. That's good, because the arsenal of moves at the hero's disposal rivals that of many FPS games. On top of shooting and melee attacks (which can be charged for added damage), you can dash, use combat abilities, and eventually gear and advanced smartware abilities too. Dashing is your primary method of avoiding damage. Initially you can dash up to three times, but the dash count and benefits can be upgraded. Holding the dash button allows you to set multiple stop points in one continuous dash, snaking through fire or damaging enemies in the process. This dash chain maneuver is a bit hard to use in the heat of battle though, until you gain and equip the ability to slow time later on. The actual shooting gameplay is deepened by the loot system. Ruiner has an impressively large variety of guns and melee weapons to pick up from downed opponents, boxes, and lockers. You'll wield pistols (including the titular Ruiner), flame throwers, shotguns with wide spread shots, and many more. Most of these guns have limited ammunition and can't be reloaded, encouraging players to pick up and use nearly everything they come across. Abilities and upgrades. In the futuristic city of Rengkok, all citizens have a chip implanted into them that tracks their karma, behavior, and more. Karma is the universal currency awarded for compliance and good behavior. Stepping outside of the leadership's comfort zone or killing foes would normally penalize your karma supply. Thankfully, your hacker friend has rigged things so that you steal foes' karma when you kill them. Collecting karma allows you to level up, gaining access to new areas within the city and increasing the upgrades available to purchase. Skill points from leveling can be spent on thirteen primary skills, including mostly equippable active abilities and a few passive bonuses. Each primary skill has 2-5 upgrades to buy too, offering a deep level of customization for players. Unusually, Ruiner also lets you reassign spent skill points at any time. Thus you can pull points out of dashing and put them into grenades, or whatever switch the situation calls for. That's a nice idea in theory, but having to juggle points and abilities around so much bogs the pace down at times. You earn karma at a decent enough pace, but making the payouts more generous would cut down on the busywork of reassigning skill points. Game structure. After completing the prologue, players will arrive in the slums of Rengkok. There, you'll encounter a variety of NPCs – a few of whom will stop looking out for themselves long enough to help you out. The city is decently sized and loaded with details, including amusing conversations to observe and places to visit. You can also pick up a few quests and bounties, though the number and variety of quests could definitely be greater. Between jaunts to the city, you'll visit a total of 14 levels – all of which can be replayed for additional karma. Levels have different objectives at times, but they all boil down to finding and eliminating the boss. Layouts aren't entirely linear, and you'll be rewarded for exploration with karma, weapons, and health and energy replenishment stations. Thankfully, there are no pointless collectibles to hunt down. Boss encounters tend to be exciting affairs, with a primary human-sized foe who is armed to the teeth with unique weapons backed up by hordes of grunts. They'll put your dodging skills to the test, as the hero's minimal life meter can't take many direct hits. After completing individual rooms and the level itself, you'll receive a rating based on speed and deaths. Achievements and difficulty. Surprisingly, the only incentive for getting a better rating is more karma. Ruiner doesn't fuss around with rating-based Achievements. There are Achievements for beating the game on all three difficulty levels, though. You can drop the difficulty down at any time, which you might have to do if things get too harrowing. Ruiner is a tough game even on Normal difficulty, so playing on Easy your first run-through might be a good idea. Some of the other 27 Xbox Achievements involve killing enemies in specific ways, collecting all bounties, doing a thousand pushups (a totally silly ability), and even dying 666 times. The hardest Achievement requires players to beat the game without dying, which will be a real challenge. Overall impression. With so many twin-stick shooters on the market, they often tend to blend together. Ruiner stands at the top of the field, thanks in large part to its ultra-cool presentation. The visuals and sounds are amazingly slick for an indie game, the sci-fi story and setting evoke the best cyberpunk stories like Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner, and the gameplay has more depth than your average shooter. If you can handle some serious challenge (and a whole lot of the color red), Ruiner certainly won't ruin your day. An extremely cool-looking and sounding shooter. Lots of gameplay mechanics add depth to the shooting experience. A huge variety of ranged annd melee weapons, plus lots of equippable skills and upgrades. Xbox Play Anywhere. More quests and optional objectives would minimise repetition. No voice acting during cutscenes. Having to sometimes reassign skill points feels like busywork. Ruiner sells for $19.99 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Windows Store, and Steam. If you buy Ruiner from Microsoft through the Store you can play it on Xbox and PC with syncing status, but only have to pay for it once. Best Xbox One Games 2018. Best Xbox One Games. The Xbox One is home to some of the best games of this generation, from big exclusives such as Gears of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3 to awesome third-party blockbusters like Resident Evil 7 and Overwatch. And now that the Xbox One X is here, you can enjoy many these games in beautiful 4K with all kinds of neat performance benefits. But regardless of whether you're upgrading or sticking with your trusty Xbox One S, here are the best games to play right now, from massive role-playing adventures to small indie masterpieces. Looking for the best titles to play in 4K? Check out our roundup of the best Xbox One X Enhanced games! Gears of War 4. Gears is back and better than ever. Gears of War 4 returns to planet Sera, only this time you're playing as JD Fenix, son of the hero of the original trilogy. It's up to you to run, gun and even chainsaw through the gooey hordes standing between you and victory. But as much fun as the single-player campaign is, it's all about the multiplayer, including staples like Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill and the refined Horde 3.0, where you're fighting off wave after wave of angry gun-toting creatures. Trust us -- you haven't lived until you've yanked and shanked someone from that decisive victory. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Is fighting mythological beasts like dragons and wraiths your thing? Do you like going on epic quests with the promise of untold riches? Do you like spending countless hours playing cards? Then The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt may be the game for you. The third entry in the Witcher series takes protagonist Geralt of Rivera throughout the world of The Continent as he searches for his lost love and his adopted daughter. Touted as one of the largest open-world third-person action role-playing games on the market, this bombastic title is one with which players should expect to spend at least 100 hours. Cuphead marries brutal 2D platforming with a gorgeous hand-drawn art style inspired by 1930s cartoons, resulting in a package that’s equal parts charming and challenging. This captivating sidescroller is defined by inventive, punishing boss fights that are complemented by a handful of platforming levels, all of which you can enjoy either solo or with a friend. Cuphead might make you want to throw your controller at times, but overcoming each unforgiving encounter provides some of the most satisfaction you’ll find from any action game. Overwatch is the rare multiplayer shooter that just about anybody can enjoy. Featuring over 20 colorful characters that battle in equally colorful arenas, this game is all about working as a team and tapping into your hero's unique abilities rather than simply racking up kills. With tons of skins to unlock and a steady flow of free content updates, Overwatch is the kind of game that could keep you hooked for months -- or years. Plus, what other game lets you put a cowboy, a talking gorilla, a pop star in a mech suit and a roller-skating medic all on the same team? Assassin's Creed Origins. After taking a year off to retool, Ubisoft delivered one of the best Assassin’s Creed games yet with Assassin's Creed Origins. This gorgeous open-world adventure sets you loose in ancient Egypt, where you’ll stealthily take down enemies, explore famous pyramids and tombs, and even ride a few camels. While Origins sticks to the Assassin’s Creed formula pretty closely, it does so with some of the most satisfying combat and storytelling the series has seen yet. It’s also a stunning showpiece for the new Xbox One X, thanks to breathtaking visuals that look especially great in 4K. Dragon Ball FighterZ. Dragon Ball FighterZ is a must-have for Dragon Ball fans and fighting game fanatics alike. The game's stunning visuals make every match feel like an episode of the anime, while its frenetic 3-on-3 fighting system is inviting for button mashers while offering tons of depth for competitive players. Factor in a rich, RPG-like story mode, plenty of online options, and heaps of fan service moments both in and out of battle, and FighterZ is the ultimate game for anyone who wants to feel like a Saiyan. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Picking up where Wolfenstein: The New Order left off, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a bigger, bolder sequel that puts you back in the boots of B.J. Blazkowicz as you fight to liberate a Nazi-controlled America. The New Colossus stands out with its cinematic storytelling and unforgettable characters, but it also lets you indulge in the delight of killing Nazis with a whole bunch of satisfying weapons, upgradable abilities and open-ended combat encounters. Mike Andronico is an associate editor at Tom's Guide. When he's not writing about mobile tech and gaming, you can usually catch him playing Street Fighter, devouring Twitch streams and trying to convince people that Hawkeye is the best Avenger.

Boss Key Productions’ LawBreakers is a frantic, fast-paced multiplayer shooter that’s a little derivative, but also very fun. It’s currently available on PlayStation 4 and PC, but it’s curiously absent as an Xbox One title. That’s not on accident, nor does it mean it simply won’t be on Xbox One in the future. Despite the fact that it didn’t debut on the console, there’s the distinct possibility that the game may very well land on the Xbox One in the future, evidenced by Boss Key Productions and the personalities who comprise the company. So there could be hope for you yet if that’s your main gaming system! LawBreakers on Xbox One: Is it a possibility? Despite being a PlayStation 4 console exclusive at the moment, LawBreakers has a shaky future as an Xbox One title coming down the line. According to an interview with VentureBeat , when asked why LawBreakers didn’t debut on Xbox One, Boss Key Productions COO Arjan Brussee stated it was, due to the fact that the group “liked” PlayStation best. When speaking to TheSixthAxis , Boss Key Productions lead designer Dan Nanni made the comment that the team had decided on PlayStation 4 in the beginning because the system ended up having the larger user base as well. However, he went on to say that he “would definitely not write off Xbox One for the future.” Cliff Bleszinski’s statement on Facebook from July. MS PowerUser. Perhaps most importantly, Cliff Bleszinski himself posted on Facebook that “Xbox fans” should “sit tight” while announcing the LawBreakers final beta at the end of July. This sounds like a fairly ringing endorsement for the game to be making its way to Xbox One in the near future, though it isn’t anything concrete just yet. For a game aspiring to be your new favorite team-based online shooter, it makes too much sense for the game to stick around only on one console and PC, so we’ll likely end up seeing it make its Xbox One debut sometime in the future, though there’s no date hammered out or official confirmation just yet.
