Just acquired an XB1. What are the must have exclusives?
- Thread starter Metanoia Prime
- Start date
Sunset Overdrive for pure uniqueness.
Cuphead and Ori and the blind forest if you don't have them on PC!
Halo 5, and Halo MCC
Killer Instinct
Quantum Break
Forza
Re:Core
That's probably close to most of them.

If you're a fan of racing/driving games, Forza Horizon 3 is a must have.
Outside of that, Halo MCC to go through the Halo games, and Halo 5 if you're interested in the series after playing through MCC.

Probably worth mentioning whether you game on a PC too, since if PC is an option for you, the list of exclusives are narrower.
Rare Replay, Sunset Overdrive, Halo: MCC, Halo 5, all the Forza games prior to Horizon 3.
If you just mean console exclusivity then there is Quantum Break, Dead Rising 3, Killer Instinct, Ryse, D4, Ori and the Blind Forest, ReCore and Phantom Dust.

thats it? what?
rare replay, Forza main line games ,Horizon 2&3. Rare Replay is huge, Ori, state of decay, GEARS 4, roblox. CUPHEAD off the top of my head.
Um I said that's close to most of them, not that's it, and if you would read OP you'd see that he already got Gears 4 with the console...
Rare Replay features the single greatest FPS game ever created, Perfect Dark.
So that. Curse you for not porting it to PC, Rare.
Also Quantum Break is good. Bear in mind that the Xbox is very much a multiplatform console. Microsoft have gone so far as to put all first party games on Windows, too.

Depends what you like, OP. There's a lot to offer. Can't go wrong with Ori and The Master Chief Collection as a starting point, as well as the other games already mentioned above.
This thread isn't about what YOU want, but nice try with that joke.
Sunset Overdrive baby! Halo MCC, Halo 5 and Quantum Break are cool too. PUBG is coming on 12/12 if you don't have a pc already
Dont listen to the crowded. While their might be not that much exclusive that made me want an X1, one of the game i enjoyed the most was Ryse Son of Rome. Amazing visual, cool combo system. You can probably grab it for cheap like 10-20$. Its not very long but at that price its a must play. Oh and Titanfall 1 was great if your into multiplayer.
I mean, it sort of is? "What are the must-have exclusives?" is an inherently subjective question, and the OP is crowdsourcing opinions on worthwhile stuff for the system.
If I had an XB1, I'd be jumping on Rare Replay first thing, because it seems like a great compilation.
Sunset Overdrive is still one of my favorite games of the generation. Its sense of humor is a bit polarizing, but it's goofy, immature, and fun as hell. I loved it!
Halo 5-Gamepass
D4-Gamepass
Sunset overdrive-Gamepass
Gears of war 4-$15 on BF
Forza Horizon 3-$15 on BF
Quantum break-$20 on sale now
Ori definitive
Cuphead

Forza Horizon 3-$15 on BF

Ori definitive
Cuphead
Its pretty obvious that within this context, he wants exclusives that are generally cosidered great.
Like even if I hated open world games, I would still say Horizon when asked about must haves on PS4.
Get Sunset Overdrive, Ori, Cuphead and then hope the Halo Collection patch is good
There is lots of stuff which people already mentioned, but I would really suggest State of Decay. It's janky as hell but does a fantastic job simulating a Romero-style zombie apocalypse. Truly unique in a sea of zombie games.
Try game pass, it'll give you access to State of Decay as well as some other great exclusives and backwards compatible titles.
Maybe The Order 1886 is actually a fun game, but I reserve having a real opinion on it despite it not looking so great because I haven't played it.

I wouldn't want to discount your opinion and all, but I don't go around telling people what PS4 exclusives to buy since I don't own the system and therefore have a pretty limited experience with those games.

Yea, State of Decay is a really good game once get to grasps with it.
I'll second Ryse, I totally forgot about it. It's fun combat is solid and responsive in the vain of the Arkham games, and not too many games are set in Ancient Rome. The Multiplayer wasn't half bad either.
Sunset overdrive.
Quantum break
skip halo 5 and gears. Very mediocre entries. Though I gotta say I've only played about two hours of gears 4. Halo 5 was meh for the entirety of the campaign

I know it has been said before and I'm gonna pre face this by saying I don't own an Xbox one, but pick up Rare Replay. It's an amazing deal you'll dozens of great games and you can find it for reasonable prices (at least when I see it at my local Gamestop). If you are into fighting games Killer Instinct would be a great thing to pick up. You can try out the free to play version and if you like it a lot pick up the copy that comes with the last 3 seasons worth of characters. If you like tough as nails 2D run and gun games Cuphead will be a must have. Ori and the Blind Forrest is another great 2D game, it's a beautiful looking Metroidvania type game with a great soundtrack.
Pretty good!
Pick up Quantum Break and Ryse while you're at it. Should be real cheap for the both of them!
Completely Solid! Get Ryse for cheap too can prob get it for like $10
I own Sunset Overdrive (ton of fun) and Rare Replay (has some of my favorite games on it), and Master Chief Collection (good if you like those Halos) for my XB1.
Unfortunately since I have a gaming PC that's
about all the games Ill ever get for it (along with Xbox/Xbox 360 BC). Other than Halo 5 which I don't really want (kinda tired of the main Halo franchise), everything else has come or is coming to PC as well.
But if you don't have a gaming PC there's stuff like Halo Wars (haven't played 2 yet, but I loved HW1) and I've heard OK things about Recore.

It seems like an easier way to gauge consensus is to have people say what they actually like or care about, and then go from there, rather than to have the intended response be for people to list off the games that have high metascores or that they think other people generally like.
If I'm supposed to guess, too, I legitimately don't know what the consensus is on Xbox One exclusives because I don't really follow them. To answer the way you want, I'd have to do a google search of Xbox One exclusives and cross-reference it with their Metacritic scores. My comment would essentially be something that could be duped by a not all that sophisticated algorithm.
Again, don't overlook Rare Replay if you can avoid it. You get 30 Rareware games including the very good Xbox 360 remasters of Perfect Dark and Banjo Kazooie/Tooie.
Or you could just like, not comment on things you don't know about. That's always an option.
