If nothing else, the Xbox One has ended its run as Microsoft's main console on a more positive note than it began. Due to a poorly received E3 showcase, the Xbox One found itself on the backfoot before the eighth console generation even started, and it would only start to recover with the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:debut of Game Pass. In hindsight, the Xbox One and PS4's launch lineups were about🦄 even in terms of quality, with both consoles lacking a proper system seller.
As the Xbox On𓂃e enters its retirement years, there is very little reason to look away from the future and revisit the consolౠe's original batch of releases. While most of these games were never really worth playing, some launch titles have aged pretty well.
10 ꦕ Yes: Dead Rising🎃 3
Capcom Vancouver's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dead Rising 3 cemented the franchise's move away from survival horror to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:pure action mayhem. Capcom's license was always about using everything available in an environment to separate zombies from t༒heir limbs, but the third main entry pꦆlaces even more emphasis on crafting combo weapons and overstuffing the screen with enemies.
Dead Rising 3 marks the franchise at its most accessible, diminishing some of the frustrations (and charm) of its predecessors. For hardcore fans of the series, D𒈔ead Rising 3 might be seen as the beginning of the end, but it still provid♏es a cathartic and enjoyably frantic experience.
9 No: LocoCycle ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ ♔
Ugly and only spora🍷dically fun to play, LocoCycle feels like it was included only to pad out the Xbox One's launch lineup. The fact the game was released on the Xbox 360 a couple of months later does not help its case, especially since LocoCycle does not even look good on that system.
LocoCycle can be entertaining in a "so bad, it is almost good kind of way," but a💦ny such thrills are unlikely to last longer than an hour or two.
8 𝔍 Yes: Battlefield 4
Once Dice ironed out 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Battlefield 4's technical issues, the FPS morphed into one of the franchise's best releases. An argument can be made that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Battlefield's subsequent projects failed💝 to surpass the 2013 entry, especially when it comes to their mulﷺtiplayer.
Battlefield 4's gameplay remains as solid and satisfying as it was in 2013, while its online modes are still relatively active considering the game's age. For those seeking an FPS that can be picked up on the cheap, Battlefield ඣ4 might be the best on the 🌞market.
7 ෴ No: Call Of Duty: Ghosts
While still performing well commercially, Activision's IP hit something of a lull during the eighth console generation. Even though things would begin to improve with 2018's Black Ops 4 and 2019's Modern Warfare, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:2013's Ghosts set the pace for a largely forgettable era in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Call of Duty's history.
Devoid of innovation outside of some technical advancements, Ghosts represents a series low on creativity and drive. As it is a Call of Duty game, Ghosts' gameplay is passable and some fun can be had in the multiplayer, but there is no reason to ℱrevisit this outdated entry again.
6 🐎 Yes: Ryse: Son of Rome
Ryse: Son of Rome was set for failure. Asked to carry the burden of being the Xbox One's big launch day new IP, Crytek's gorgeous but repetitive hack and slash romp simply lacked the depth to fill such a role. Despite its stunning graphics, which 🌼still rank among the best on the console, Ryse is ultimately a B-tier action game in the vein of Dante's Inferno and Remember Me.
Viewed as ಞjust one entry in a much larger library, Ryse justifies its existence through its brutal combat and impressive presentation. Ryse might have garnered a better reception if the Xbox One featured a better launch lineup.
5 No: Zoo Tycoon ⛎
Zoo Tycoon was not a complete failure, but it did play better on PC than Microsoft's consoles. The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:business simulator nailed 𒊎its presentation and interactivity, but its simplified gameplay and unintuitive user interface made it a hard sell for veterans and newcomers alike.
2017's Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection improves on nearly every aspect of the original version. With a much better option now av🥀ailable, there is no reason to re💝visit 2013's Zoo Tycoon.
4 🔯 𒁏 Yes: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
After the disappointing 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin's Creed III, Black Flag came out of nowhere to revitalize interest in a franchise that had begun to overstay its welcome. Embracing its pirate settiꦏng and paying less attention to the license's overall story, Black Flag is ෴a freeing open-world game overflowing with personality and packed with secrets waiting to be discovered.
As Assassin's Creed shifted gears with the release of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Origins and Odyssey, Black Flag became the last great෴ traditional entry in the franchise. It is also an accessible entry point into the series for newcomers🦂.
3 No: Crims🌠on Dragon 🍸
Directed by Yukio Futatsugi of Panzer Dragoon fame, Crimson Dragon had all the pedigree necessary to cement itself as a future rail shooter classic. Unfortunately, the Xbox One launch game never comes close to matching 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sega's franchise, including the Xbox's own Panzer Dragoon Orta.
There are much worse game🦄s out there than Crimson Dragon, but that does not excuse the rail shooter's underwhelming story, bland missions, and unsatisfying gameplay. Ultimately, Crimson Dragon is borཧing rather than horrible.
2 Yes: Killer Instinct ಌ
The Xbox One debuted with two fighting games: Fighter Within and Killer Instinct. Seven years later, the former i♏s still the worst game on Micros𝕴oft's console, while the latter grew into one of the better fighters on a system that is 🦄not lacking in them.
A free to play title, Killer Instinct's lack of content at launch undermined its gloriously over the top🧔 and deep combat system. The game's subsequent seasons would improve greatly on the base product, with Killer Instinct eventually reaching its final state with the Definitive Edition.
1 🐓 No: Forza Motorsport 5
A disappointment in 2013, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Forza Motorsport 5 was rendered near pointless with the next release in the racing series. Sound as its fundamentals might be, Forza Motorsport 5 strips back much of the ꦍvariety that help🌞ed cement the franchise as one of the best on the market.
As a launch title, Forza Mot😼orsport 5's visuals did their job in showcasing the Xbox One's power. However, its medioc💎re roster of cars and lack of content made it feel like a shell of a game. Forza Motorsport 6 and even 7 are far better.
