Best Xbox Games 2023: Ghostwire Tokyo

The lack of big first-party exclusives (so far!) for the Xbox Series X/S doesn’t seem to deter fans from picking up the console. Thanks to the tremendous value of GamePass, and the promise of the launch-day release of Xbox’s burgeoning first-party titles, Xbox Series X/S is just about primed to be a must-have console to play some of the biggest game releases.

Remnant 2

Genre: Action | Release Date: July 25, 2023 | Platforms: PC, PlayStation, Xbox

YouTube player

Gunfire Games’ Remnant: From the Ashes was a sleeper hit by all accounts, providing fans of the Souls genre a loot-and-shoot experience, and that too in co-op. Remnant 2 looks to build on the ideas introduced in the first game while expanding the gameplay and offering highly requested quality-of-life features.

Remnant 2 Review Round-up


Exoprimal

Genre: Shooter | Release Date: July 14, 2023 | Platforms: PC, Playstation, Xbox

YouTube player

We aren’t getting a new Dino Crisis anytime soon, but publisher Capcom hopes Exoprimal might scratch that itch. This third-person shooter pits you and a couple of your friends against a never-ending horde of dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures while equipping you with a cutting-edge exosuit that should be able to take the beasts head-on.

Exoprimal Review Round-up


Oxenfree II: Lost Signals

Genre: Horror | Release Date: July 12, 2023 | Platforms: PC, Playstation, Xbox, Switch, Mobile

YouTube player

If you have never heard of Oxenfree, do yourself a favour and get the original as soon as possible. It’s a peculiar horror game mixed with a coming-of-age saga, and easily one of the genre has finest. With the sequel, Night School Studios, with the backing of Netflix Games, look to offer a polished narrative experience, with the choice-based gameplay, dynamic conversations, and environmental puzzles seeped in stunning artwork.

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals Review Roundup.


Diablo 4

Genre: ARPG | Release Date: June 6, 2023 | Platforms: PC, Playstation, Xbox

YouTube player

Blizzard’s latest entry into its nearly thirty-year-old franchise invites you back to Hell for an endless slaughter of evil demons, countless abilities to master, and massive dungeons to loot and conquer. According to reviews, there is not much to the story, although it seems like it’s a marked improvement from Diablo 3 (which isn’t saying much). That said, while the game doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, the improvements to the combat, looting and visuals still make for a fresh take on the iconic franchise. You can read our review round-up here.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Genre: Action-Adventure | Release Date: April 28, 2023 | Platform: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S | PEGI: 12
YouTube player

The hotly anticipated sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is finally releasing after a short delay. With the original game garnering high praise and equally good sales, Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has tremendous hype, and expectations, behind it as it promises yet another galaxy-spanning action-adventure starring our good ol buddy Cal, his mini robot companion, BD-1, and the numerous characters that he will meet.

Dead Island 2

Genre: Action-RPG | Release Date: April 21, 2023 | Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S | PEGI: 18
YouTube player

The long-delayed sequel to 2011’s popular zombie fest is finally upon us. Published by Deep Silver and developed by Dambuster Studios, Dead Island 2 promises a stylish, vibrant, gore-drenched Los Angeles to explore and cut through hordes of zombies with unique weapons and abilities.


Ghostwire: Tokyo

Genre: Action-Adventure | Release Date: April 12, 2023 | Xbox Series X/S | PEGI: 12
YouTube player

Considering Microsoft purchased Bethesda Softworks and, in turn, developer Tango Gameworks, the exclusive release of Ghostwire: Tokyo on the PlayStation 5 last year was a bit awkward for all parties involved. However, as the one-year exclusivity deal ends, Tango’s weird, odd, and excellent action-adventure title is finally releasing for Xbox Series X/S. This version will include the Spider’s Thread update, new story cutscenes, additional areas to explore, a bonus game mode, and several quality-of-life improvements. 


Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

Genre: Action-Adventure | Release Date: March 3, 2023 | PEGI: 16
YouTube player

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is the newest entry into the ever-growing Souls genre and is developed by Team Ninja, who successfully made their name with another Souls game with the Nioh series. The game is a dark fantasy action RPG where players fight off deadly creatures and enemy soldiers using swordplay based on Chinese martial arts.

The game has already been released to great applause from fans and critics alike and currently sits at 81% Metacritic score. The game is available on both old-gen and next-gen platforms, as well as on Xbox GamePass.

Resident Evil 4 Remake

Genre: JRPG | Release Date: March 24, 2023 | PEGI: 12
YouTube player

Hailed as the best the horror genre has to offer, Resident Evil 4 is a genre classic that inspired many horror games after its original release in 2005. Capcom, in its relentless pursuit of remaking its classics, is giving the same treatment to Resident Evil 4. But unlike its previous attempts that largely updated the visuals and added a few new features here and there, this remake is built from the ground up and will feature new stories and a few surprises. This is undoubtedly this month’s most anticipated release and will be a treat for horror fans.


Octopath Traveller II

Genre: JRPG | Release Date: February 24, 2023 | PEGI: N/A
YouTube player

Octopath Traveller II is the sequel to 2018’s highly acclaimed RPG and is a must-play for fans of the genre. It borrows many original designs and gameplay elements but tells a brand-new story, so you don’t necessarily have to play the first game to understand what’s happening. The series is known for its retro pixel art and 3D graphics and engaging turn-based combat.


Hogwarts Legacy

Genre: Fantasy, Action-Adventure | Release Date: February 10, 2023 | PEGI: 12
YouTube player

Hogwarts Legacy directly answers the question, “What if someone cared to make a great game set in the Harry Potter universe?”. While we have had some Harry Potter games before, nothing matches the scale and quality that Hogwarts Legacy provides.

Developed by Avalanche Studios, the game is set during the 1800s (much before Potter came along), where you – a new 5th-year student in Hogwarts – must learn how to craft potions, discover fantastic beasts, battle dark wizards and uncover ancient secrets that threaten the very existence of the magical world.

What sets the game apart is the love and care that went into recreating the multi-layered and vast hallways and passageways of Hogwarts and surrounding areas, giving Potter fans a true 1:1 representation of the world described in the books and brought to life with the movies.

Dead Space

Genre: Horror | Release Date: January 27, 2023 | PEGI: 18
YouTube player

Dead Space is often cited as one of the finest horror games ever made, so for EA to attempt to remake the game was controversial in and of itself. You don’t dare touch a classic unless you can do it justice – and to EA’s credit, they absolutely nailed it.

The Dead Space remake stays true to the core formula of the original, providing spine-chilling thrills and incredibly satisfying gameplay, now with updated visuals that run smoothly. Being a remake built from the ground up, the developers have also made significant changes to modernize the game. Still, it remarkably doesn’t take away anything from what made the original game unique. We hope to get a remake of Dead Space 2 (but please skip the third instalment) and a modern continuation of the classic horror franchise. 


Hi-Fi Rush

Genre: Rhythm-based Action-Adventure | Release Date: January 25, 2023 | PEGI: N/A
YouTube player

Tango Gameworks are usually known to develop weird but stylistic horror games, so it took everyone by surprise when they shadow-dropped Hi-Fi Rush, a bright, rhythm-based action-adventure for Xbox and PC. And the thoroughly excellent game only accelerated its hype, garnering terrific reviews from critics and fans.

Hi-Fi Rush’s super flashy, almost-anime-like visuals are incorporated into a rhythm-based gameplay mechanic approaching the genre with a fresh perspective. Almost everything in the game, from your character, your robot companion, to the objects in the background, moves to a specific rhythm – match that when in combat. You can pull off stylish moves and killer combos while scoring high on the grading system.

But if you are not into rhythm games at all, the game is extremely forgiving and doesn’t require you to play the game in any specific way to progress. Hi-Fi Rush is one of the finest games to release this year, and it’s one game that should be on your must-play list, and the fact that it’s available for free on GamePass on Xbox and PC is the perfect gateway to trying out the game.
