* Ori and the Will of the Wisps
* Pentiment
* Psychonauts 2
* Hi-Fi Rush
* Forza Horizon 5
These are some of the best experiences I had in gaming since 2020 probably.
Xbox delivered one of the best metroidvanias ever made in Ori.
Pentiment narrative makes some games look like they aren’t even trying, this game story is up there with the likes of disco elysium, planescape torment, silent hill 2, kentucky route zero… Josh Sawyer is one of the best creative game director, he makes only bangers and stories that feel mature in some way, like he’s trying to tell us something and make us question morality (the fouro games he directed were fallout new vegas, pillars of eternity, deadfire and pentiment).
A creative 3D platformer that actually makes you think and tells a great story in Psychonauts 2.
Hi-Fi Rush goes straight into the goat category of character action-driven games, shit like metal gear solid revengeance, old god of war games, bayonettas and devil may cry series.
Horizon is still the king of openworld fun on the go racing games, beautiful vistas, so many cars, pick a car and go racing, so much variety…

I have a feeling people don’t understand what “indie” means.
Do you work for Microsoft marketing or something?

I have both XSX and PS5. But let’s be honest, xbox doesn’t know how to manage studios
