Of all the platforms, the Xbox One saw the least amount of exclusives this year and it really hurt the system. After the holidays last year, I didn’t really touch my Xbox One S much except for a small exclusive here or there. With no major Halo or Gears of War release this year, the Xbox One didn’t have any instant fast-selling games. Here’s to hoping next year bodes better games.

Forza Motorsport 7

While the graphically superior version is for PC and Xbox One X, the Xbox One version is still one of the best racing simulators ever created. Turn 10 Studios’ dedicated passion for motorsports shows in Forza 7 with hyper realistic physics, driving mechanics, and so many fun vehicles to drive.
