MS and Xbox will be fine and had massive success last year/2 years and some goodies already this year -
- e.g. Forza Horizon 5/Hot Wheels
- Sea of Thieves
- Tunic
- Cuphead DLC
- Pentiment
- Two Point Series
- Grounded
- Avengers/GotG on GP
- Hi Fi Rush
- High On Life
- MS Flight
- Psychonauts 2
- Vampire Survivors
- Age of Empires 4
- Halo MCC updates and current state
This is one GENEROUS ass list! No, the "bots" are not out. Believe or not, a lot of real people are not happy with Microsoft. People who probably own an Xbox too.
Forza/hot wheels- forza is good and the second expansion will be a nice addition to the library but they need to step up their game in a few key areas. It's starting to feel like more of the same.
Sea of Thieves- old ass game. Cool if you're into that kinda niche online game.
Tunic-great little indie but it's multi-plat with a short window of exclusivity
Pentiment-as niche as niche can get. Doubt many gaffers will care or play it.
Avengers/gotg- Avengers sucks. Guardians is solid but where are the big, exciting new games? you still havnt said.
High on Life-not a good game despite some liking it. It's average in every aspect.
MS Flight- great game to bolster the library but old and niche- why even list these games that came out in 2020?
Psychonauts 2- finally a great game but came out in 2021- this thread is about Microsoft currently
Vampire Survivors- great little indie. Finally something new (on console anyway)
Age of Empires 4- nice exclusive for the PC crowd and it's new. Cool
Halo Infinite- don't even get me started. It's a disaster of a Halo game and there's no more single player content coming. At best they'll focus on multi-player and make something good out of it at worst it'll remain a stain on MS. Also, came out in 2021.
Dude that list you made is not as good as you think it is. They need games like Starfield, Forza, and Hellblade 2 to release before most non biased Xbox players can, with a straight face, feel good about MS's catalogue.
Condense that list down to-vampire Survivors, high on life, pentiment, Hi Fi Rush and Hot wheels expansion and you have an actually relevant to the discussion list of current MS games.
That's not impressive and doesn't make anyone critical of it a bot. That list sucks.
