Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is designed to be played cooperatively, and trust us: It's good to have someone to blame when everything goes belly-up. Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime : If you feel like elevating your stress levels, look no further than this 2D platformer from Asteroid Base. (Also, it's our list and we make the rules.) Whether you love or hate baseball, you'll find something to enjoy in Super Mega Baseball, which follows in the footsteps of classics like NBA Jam and NFL Blitz and came in as Polygon's top sports game of 2014.

Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings : Sure, this fantastic indie baseball game debuted on PlayStation in 2014, but the Xbox One and Windows PC versions introduced some upgrades and new content the next year, so we're including it here. But it definitely is, as our review puts it: 'It's a remarkable exercise in taste and restraint, with a tonal and emotional range I didn't know Playdead was capable of.' (Buy it from Microsoft)

It's also hard to convey why Inside is so deserving of all the praise that has been heaped upon it. Inside : It's hard to say whether Playdead's second game or its first one, 2010's Limbo, is more bleak. You can try to make an honest living as a trader or become a space pirate in a universe that's nearly 1,300 years ahead of us. Frontier Developments' Elite: Dangerous lets you explore an unfathomably massive galaxy however you choose.

(Buy it on Amazon)Д®lite: Dangerous : You don't need a gaming PC to play space simulations - or at least, not this one. Ori and the Blind Forest throws devilishly difficult platforming challenges at you, along with a beautiful opening sequence that gets across a heartbreaking story in very few words. Ori and the Blind Forest : Don't be fooled by the cutesy look of this unbelievably gorgeous side-scrolling action-adventure game. The well-designed puzzles of its minigames give you the confidence to build your own rides, and the options there are nearly limitless. ScreamRide: A spiritual successor to the RollerCoaster Tycoon series, Frontier Developments' ScreamRide utilizes stunning physics and environmental destruction technology to make its theme parks come to life (and death!). Add in the game's skateboard-inspired movement, and you've got one of the most unabashedly fun video game-ass video games out there. Sunset Overdrive: Insomniac Games delivered an inspired, stylish take on the post-apocalypse with Sunset Overdrive, bringing humor, heart and a colorful punk-rock aesthetic to a typically self-serious genre. Halo 5: Guardians : The latest Halo game fails to provide a satisfying story - guess we'll have to wait until Halo 6 for that - but it might contain the best multiplayer suite in the history of this beloved series. Gears 4 is 'a remarkably consistent, complete package with the kind of refinement and focus few other games can manage,' according to our review.

Gears of War 4: The Coalition had a tough job in reviving the mainline Gears series five years after 2011's Gears of War 3, but the studio pulled it off. 'The world itself is a never-ending source of discovery and charm, so much so that, while playing, all I ever wanted was to reveal more, more, more,' our review says.

(Note: We've generally stuck to console-exclusive games, plus a multiplatform list at the end.) The Big OnesДЇorza Horizon 3: Playground Games' Forza Horizon series continues to enthrall, this time with a beautifully realized Australian setting that ranges from the beach up to the forest.

Either way, you're probably looking for more games to play on your brand-new gaming console, and you're in luck! There are plenty of great titles available on the Xbox One, and we've compiled a list of some of the best. Your Xbox One almost certainly came with a game, since Microsoft offered many different bundles. All of that may have pushed you off the fence into buying an Xbox One, or maybe you got one as a gift during the holiday season. Along with the Xbox One S and the upcoming Project Scorpio, Microsoft has a slate of excellent console-exclusive games. Microsoft and the Xbox One had a rough start to this console generation, but they've really picked up steam since then.
