Yeah, should be all I think, unless you count remasters, which would add Journey (2015) too, but it's a pretty basic remaster, also cross-buy so not even really a separate thing.

Which Xbox Exclusive will be the next to hit 90+ Metacritic?
- Thread starter BladeRunner2099
- Start date
Ori is the safe bet, that game will be polished to a fine sheen by the time its out. More skeptical of Gears and Halo, can see those toeing the higher 80s, low 90s line. Hopeful for both as an X owner.
Uhh Ori is in arround 6 months. And we believe the next Forza is not coming next year. Forza Motorsport that is.

Well Ori 2 is 2019 for sure, worst case early 2020. FM8 is Fall 2020 and FH5 is 2021 Fall. So, I think Ori 2 will release first.
It makes sense, though a case could be made for Ori as technically it is available on a third party platform (Steam).

I thought of adding Fable Reboot/4 but it could be 2022 probably.which is a long, long way.

Halo will probably be in the 90s, but it will be the last of the games listed in the poll to be released.
However it'll only be in the 90s though because critics are far too kind to the series. Master chief collection was completely broken at launch and remained broken for years and it had a mid 80s meta critic score.
After master chief collection, halo 4 and halo 5 I have absolutely no faith in 343 to make a good halo game.

One thing for sure, Gears 5 on PC with RTX & Xbox One X at 4k 60 fps will look incredible!
Not surprised by the lack of enthusiasm for gears 5 in this poll.
But I think gears 5 will surprise peoples expectations.

A developer does not have to be owned by the publisher for it to be a first party game, It's a first party game not first party studio. It's an MSGP game, a team at Xbox focused on working with independent developers to make first party games. The game is handled by MSGP, funded by MS, MS owns the IP and it's exclusive to MS platforms, how is that not first party? Maybe you think that because Ori 2 could release on steam, I would guess that won't happen due to play anywhere not being a thing back then. MS also published it on Steam, it being on steam still doesn't change that it's first party though, just it's exclusivity.
Ah, your trolling. I'm not going to waste my time.

Yeah same here, feels like this is the Gears Rod has wanted to make for a long time, and with God of War, BotW, RE7 really changing things up, even forgetting its past, I think he has more then enough reason to leave old Gears behind and usher in the new. Fans are going to be upset, but of it's a great game they'll be replaced .

In their defense, Halo 5 had amazing post launch support and ended up having crazy amount of content for what 30$ after 1 year. Halo MCC now is in a great place, if they add Halo Reach and custom browser, it will be magical.
Halo 4 SP and Halo 5 MP proves 343 can deliver great experiences but they need the whole package.
Phil Spencer like 343 realized Halo needed time off. Halo 5 and Halo MCC were brought out 6/12 months too early. Halo Infinite will have 5 years of Dev time, a new engine and a much bigger team all laser focused on 1 game unlike Halo MCC/Halo 5 during 2012-15. They will bring back Chief, will simplify the story unlike Halo 5 which had too many characters that we didn't know much about.
Halo Infinite might even be open-world which is not so crazy thinking about that trailer and it reminds me a lot of Halo CE. Also,Halo Infinite ends the trilogy which started with 4, so 343 will go ALL OUT!!
Have faith!

Terry Crews can make anything happen!
I think Crackdown 3 will have a higher metacritic than SoT and State of Decay 2. ( probably low 70s)
Ori because it's releases first. It would be far easier to get 90s games is they went down the narrative driven route though. Reviews are pretty annoying for that reason.

Jokes aside. In all honesty I think Ori will get 90+.

You are right. FM7 was a game with a 2 year Dev Cycle and didn't significantly change gameplay, yet it got an 86.
I think FM8 with a 3 year dev cycle ( never happened?), a new Creative Director & as a next gen launch title has a lot going for it. It might well be a return to the 90s for the overshadowed Motorsport series.
Not exactly the question, but Fable is the Xbox exclusive I'm the most excited about by a long, long way. I don't care for the Horizon games, but that studio have serious technical chops. And if it's single player focused, and of comparable scope to something like Horizon: Zero Dawn? Oh my... It really could be something very, very special.
I have zero faith in Halo Infinite. 343 have made two utterly bland games, and aiming for something seemingly far grander seems like the worst idea imaginable.

The Order 1886, Ryse, Quantum Break, Assassin's Creed, InFamous Second Son and many others point to that not necessarily being the case. Conversely, many of the 90+ rated games this gen have very little emphasis on narrative.
Probably Ori. It's an indie darling that's a great metroidvania, has pretty graphics and nice music. As long as they make it as good as the first, it's pretty likely to stay above 90.
Gears 5 isn't unless it's borderline revolutionary for the series. It's obvious that many people are tired of the formula outside of big Gears fans (like me. Gears 4 is fine), so they're going to have to shake things up to get people excited again.
Halo Infinite is a wild card. Way too early to say.
Forza Horizon might? Hard to say if people will be tired of the formula by the 5th entry. I imagine it's going to have some crazy cloud technology that will be their big thing to make it exciting.

Feel its always worth an extra 10 points or so. Reviewers love those types of games.
Didn't Turn 10 say they're not working on the next Forza atm? I assumed it would take a year break and launch with the next Xbox. I wouldn't be surprised if Forza Horizon 4 was the last Forza for this gen.
It'll be Ori. I know it's hard to get into that 90+, but the industry loves to reward sophomore refinements, and Ori looks all about quality refinement.
Probably not, in a few different ways. They'll be on PC and they'll probably be on the Xbox Next as well.
They will be Xbox console exclusives, though.
We don't even know what Ninja Theory is making though tbh, all we know is that they made a game like Hellblade with a micro staff and budget so expectations should be fairly high, at least high 80's
3 games though, Playgrounds RPG, The Initiatives game and Obsidians need to be 90+
If Initiative gets even an 89 it'll be an instant L for them given how much investment and talent is going in the studio.

Ohh I completely misread your post my bad haha. I somehow completely missed the "not" which, turns out, is an important word.
I don't think the mainline forza is mainstream enough to score 90s. But that's just my personal opinion on racing games like that and gran tourismo that are more sim-ish and trend towards realism.
Halo and gears would need to knock it out of the park instead of being more of the same.
