The work, which is more than an entertaining game, is a psychological experience of the life of a girl named Senua, who must face and overcome her troubled thoughts and self-talk. But will he succeed in this way? Can he silence the voices in his head? You will get a partial answer to these questions by repeatedly playing Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. The story of Hellblade, as mentioned, is about Senoa, the daughter of the Pict tribe warrior, who, after the love of her life, Dillion, is killed, decides to travel to Helheim (the land of the dead in Norse mythology) and bring him back to life by coming face to face with Hela, the queen of death. On the way, Senua has to go through many challenges and overcome her mental problems on the road ahead.

The combat system is reduced to defense and attack, and the right timing is the key to your success in one-on-one battles. It is interesting to know that death has no meaning in this game and after every defeat, a black halo appears on Senua’s right hand and the game starts again from there. The technical graphics of the game are very eye-catching and visually we are witnessing one of the highest quality games available to users in the eighth generation. In addition to the mentioned items, we cannot not mention the amazing voice acting of this game.

17) Ori and the Will of the Wisps

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is one of those games that should be called an enjoyable work of art rather than a game. The story of the game starts exactly after the completion of the first version, where after the death of Niva, Ovi now has to start a new life with his new family. In the meantime, Uri decides to develop the skills of the little owl “Ko” to fly as well. The main story of the game starts from where Ko has an accident after a failed flight and these two friends are separated from each other. The game gives the audience a straight story and never tries to be too complicated. In addition to the entertaining story, the calculated characterization of the characters has also helped to make the experience of this game more enjoyable.

The platforming system of this version is much deeper than the first game and players will face various challenges many times along the way. Like the first version, this game includes three separate sections to improve the skills of the main character of the game, through which players can increase Ori’s abilities. The game map may seem small at first, but gradually as you progress through the stages and your skills increase, you will see more points of the game land.

Therefore, the creators have made many choices for the design of the male and female characters of the game, which has led to the creation of countless characters. During the game, you have to upgrade the equipment and clothes of your characters, and for this, sometimes the game forces you to hunt certain monsters. In order to do this, in addition to the main stages, you have to do numerous sub-missions, and the rewards that await you will make the experience of these activities not boring. Different game environments are designed as beautifully as possible, and with the dynamic weather system that is placed in it, it creates a pleasant and memorable experience for its audience. The creators have released a wonderful add-on package called Iceborne for this game, which was removed from the upcoming list only because the games were not repeated. In this package, we see the presence of an ice world with a story line and new monsters that can provide players with an entertaining experience for hours along with the main game.

As you know, the development of this game was done by FarmSoftor studio, and Sekiro is actually the third game of this studio among the best Xbox One games. The creators of the Souls collection have returned this time with a relatively different work, and perhaps simpler from the point of view of some players, in order to maintain their previous audience and give more people the opportunity to experience their valuable works.

7) Forza Horizon 4

Undoubtedly, the popular Forza series can be considered one of the most enjoyable racing games of recent years. The Forza Horizon series made by Playground Games Studio, which focuses more on arcade driving, has been available to fans as a sub-series of Forza Motor Sports for several years, but the Forza Horizon 4 game should not be considered a sub-version, but a main version and Let’s consider independently that it has been provided with a lot of valuable content to the users of the Xbox One platform. In this version, for the first time, we see the presence of a dynamic weather system including all four seasons, each of which offers a different driving experience to the players.

6) Inside

Inside is Playdead Studio’s second game as strange to players as Limbo was. A work that maybe after experiencing it for the first time, you will tell yourself exactly what happened and you will be eager to play it again to better understand the events. This time, Playdead puts you in the role of a boy who is running away from people from the very beginning. You have to overcome the big and small puzzles in front of you to get this boy to an unknown destination outside the place where he is stuck. The design of the game stages is very atmospheric and breathtaking and can be scary at times. This time, the creators have used a dark theme for their game, and only in a few cases we see the presence of limited colors in the environment.

During the steps, you should not expect any specific guidance from the game and you should only solve the puzzles in front of you by trial and error. Leaving aside the creativity of the stage design, let’s get to its excellent sound, through which the creators of the game show you the mood of their semi-apocalyptic world. That being said, the final third of Inside is arguably one of the weirdest and most confusing games you’ve played in years, and maybe that’s enough to get you ready to enter its crazy world.

5) Resident Evil 2 Remake

In the 8th generation of video games, we saw the release of remasters and remakes of many old games, which gave newer users the opportunity to experience the classic and enduring works once again with a modern atmosphere. Undoubtedly, one of the best remakes released in recent years has been the remake of Resident Evil 2, which is not only a great horror and survival work, but also an original and extremely well-made Resident Evil.
The story of the game is about the two main characters of this series, Claire Redfield and Leanne Scott Kennedy, who each came to Raccoon City for a different purpose, but they soon find out that the city is full of scary zombies whose only goal is to kill and eat other humans. Lian was supposed to become a member of the Raccoon City police force, and now upon arriving at the police station, she realizes that nothing special is left of the last refuge of humans. On the other hand, Claire has set foot in Raccoon City to find her brother Chris, and during her adventures, she meets Sherry Birkin, and from now on, her only goal will be to protect this girl. The characterization and narrative of Resident Evil 2, along with its scary and challenging gameplay, has made us face a work that will keep you glued to your seat during its experience.

4) Celeste

In recent years, we have seen the release of wonderful pixel art games, each of which, in addition to conveying the nostalgic feeling of the 80s and 90s video games, provided a unique experience to the audience. One of the games that managed to attract the attention of the audience and critics was Celeste, made by an independent studio called Maddy Makes Games, which can be safely considered as a game-making classroom for many developers. In this game, players play the role of a girl named Madeline who has to climb a mountain called Celeste, but doing so is not easy at all and along the way we see various obstacles and traps, each of which makes the game more challenging.

Of course, along the way Madeleine gets to know different characters, each of them are well-characterized in an interesting way, and you can learn about their background. As we said, Celeste game is challenging and very hard and you will fail many times in each stage and have to start the whole stage from the beginning. But these consecutive failures are not only annoying, but the experience of Celeste is so sweet that you thirst to beat its stages every time. Celeste is an extremely enjoyable platformer game, whose every component has made it rank fourth among the best Xbox One console games with Meta 94.

3) Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

The third place of the best games in this list is the last game of the very popular Metal Gear Solid series. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the first game in the Metal Gear series that confronts players with a completely open-world effect, thus leaving players’ hands completely free to complete missions. The story of the game takes place 9 years after the events of Ground Zeroes and now Venom Snake has returned to stop the terrorist named Skull Face in addition to creating the Diamond Dogs group. Various characters are present in the game, and due to their direct or indirect presence in the game, we more or less see references to other versions of the Metal Gear collection.

As mentioned, Phantom Pain is a completely open-world work. In each stage, the game drops you in a large area by helicopter and from here on it is up to you to decide how to complete your mission. Undoubtedly, the stealth part of Metal Gear 5 is considered its main strength, and it allows you to complete the stages using your special equipment and facilities without sounding the alarm. On the other hand, the artificial intelligence of the game is very high and in many cases it will leave you in the mouth. Phantom Pain may not be the best game in the Metal Gear series, but still, after 5 years since its release, it is one of the best stealth and adventure games that we recommend every gamer to experience.

2) GTA V

The fact that the two best games of the Xbox One console are occupied by the latest games of Rockstar Studio can only mean one thing, and that is the professionalism of this studio in creating works that are known for years as lasting experiences of the video game industry among users. The Xbox One version of GTA V was released for this console in 2014 and has always been one of the best-selling games of this generation. In this game, you play the role of three separate characters, each of whom has specific goals for life, and somehow their fates are tied together at some point in the game.

The success of the single player may not have been enough for Rockstar, because with the release of the online version of the game, they created a community of players who have been playing GTA Online for hours and have been adding to their numbers every day. Of course, Rockstar was not unaffected by this success by publishing various events for the online sector and fully supporting it. With its eye-catching visuals and countless details, GTA V is still an incredibly fun experience for Xbox One console owners.

1) Red Dead Redemption 2

Finally, in the place of the best game of the Xbox One console, the latest work of Rockstar Studio, Red Dead Redemption 2, is placed. A wonderful work that deserves to be placed in this rank in many ways, and one cannot easily fault a part of it. Red Dead 2 is a collection of perfect elements for a video game that immerses players for hours and days in its infinite world. By improving everything that was in the first version of this game, now as much as possible in this game, from gameplay and stage design to visual graphics and sound, the creators have brought everything to their highest level and finally created a work that may be similar for years. Don’t see it.
In addition to the mentioned cases, we have the characterization and engaging story telling, which is the Achilles heel of this game. The story of the game this time goes years before the first version, and now you play the role of Arthur Morgan as a member of the Dutch group, and you have to try to survive and strengthen yourself in the wild west. In this game, you are the decision maker of Arthur’s actions and you must prepare yourself to face the consequences. During the game, in addition to the main missions that you have to do with your group, there are countless sub-missions and other side activities that make you never get tired of Red Dead 2 experience. So if you haven’t managed to experience this game yet, don’t miss the opportunity and enter the Wild West world created by Rockstar as soon as possible.
