About time. Now to see if they are actually good. That’s been the real problem for Xbox. Whenever they release games this gen, they’ve not been well received by the majority. The games have had glaring flaws that were game breakers or just simply weren’t good enough.

Psychonauts 2, Forza Horizon 5, Pentiment, Grounded, and AOE 4 all reviewed well. Barring AOE 4 I played all of them and enjoyed them. None of them would qualify as blockbusters though, maybe Forza.

edit: if Bethsoft games count, then I loved Indiana Jones. First game I got every achievement for in a long time.

I guess you can consider those as the current generation as they were also released on the PS5 & XSX. All of those games are cross generational though. I only played FH5 of those and enjoyed it as well. I would actually love another horizons game.

Indiana Jones would definitely support your argument. Here’s hoping it’s a sign that this year’s crop will be fun as well.
