So if you have purchased this console now or are considering buying one, you need to know all about the best exclusives offered by One to its players. Anyone who is a fan of racing games, for example, has several incredible options within the Forza franchise . If you prefer s hooters both Halo as Gears of War are titles you need to play. So to make your life easier on this quest for exclusive Xbox One games , we've brought you 10 must-see games from the list below.
1. Ryse: Son of Rome
Son of Rome is unfortunately a title that is greatly underestimated by the owners of an Xbox One. While bringing elements from other games into its gameplay, it is a game unique in its own way. Mainly because there is hardly any other major game that addresses the Roman Empire the way Ryse approaches it. In control of Marius Titus, a Roman general, we follow a journey seeking revenge for the death of his family. The story begins in Rome, and Marius is defending the city from a barbarian invasion by the Celts. In the midst of this combat and the attempt to protect Emperor Nero, the general begins to tell his story. We are then taken to the events that led Marius to the fight against the Celts. We started as a soldier who has just finished his training. Carrying various weapons throughout the gameplay , we will face many enemies from Rome. Combat is hack n 'slash style , which encourages the creation of attack combos. You can use swords, spears and shields. In the midst of fights, you can give orders to uncontrollable characters. If you have Kinect, you can use your voice to give these commands. Ryse: Son of Rome features famous mechanics in other titles, such as the quick-time events of God of War III . This happens when some enemies are able to suffer executions. Pressing the right buttons will start a sequence. The more perfect the sequence and execution, the more rewards you earn. Also featuring a multiplayer mode in which players face off at the Colosseum in Rome, Ryse proves to be a fairly complete game. It's not perfect, far from it, but it's an Xbox One exclusive that you need to give it a try. You must play this game if:- Enjoy games with historical inspiration
- Want a good combat dynamic
2. Quantum Break
Quantum Break is another title that has received mixed attention from Xbox One gamers. This is most likely due to the fact that this game is quite "different." Its gameplay and mission structure proposition is nothing that people are used to in shooters and action games. First, because Quantum Break moves over time. Not exactly time travel, but time itself. The protagonist Jack Joyce gains the power to control him after a scientific experiment has gone wrong. Antagonist, Paul Serene, responsible for the experiment and founder of the company that developed it, is who you need to fight, having the same powers. The gameplay of Quantum Break gives players many skills in terms of combat. In addition to the use of firearms and hand-to-hand combat, timing is a great advantage. You can freeze it if you like, and you can use it to teleport near enemies. With these special abilities, fighting styles are as varied as possible. This title also has a choice system, which interferes with the progression of the game. This is related to another very special feature of the game. All the important characters in Quantum Break are played by real and famous actors. At the end of each mission, these actors appear, as if it were an in-game TV series, continuing the actions taken by the player in their gameplay . Despite mixed reviews, this is an Xbox One exclusive that cannot be overlooked. It is a good quality shooter with very well built movement and interaction mechanics. In addition, the feeling that we are in a movie is interesting and brings an innovative perspective to the title. You must play this game if:- If you like time-themed games

Gears of War 4 is the latest, although its sequel is already under development. Regarding the third title does not bring much innovation, which does not mean it is not a great game. He introduces JD Fenix ??as protagonist. The game is set chronologically 25 years after everything that happened in Gears 3 .

6. Sea of ??Thieves
Anyone who has ever wanted to experience sea pirate life needs a lot to play Sea of ??Thieves . It is a more cooperative game than single player , mainly because up to four people can sail together on the same ship. The fun is that they are divided between functions. One is responsible for the cannons, another for maneuvering the boat, one has an eye on the map, and so on. The game world is open and there is not exactly a campaign or narrative to follow. The idea is to explore, loot, capture and sink other ships. Other pirates controlled by other groups of players can be found while exploring. All the gold you get serves to change the look of the boat and its weapons. The ultimate goal of Sea of ??Thieves is to become a legend of the seas.

Sunset Overdrive is one of the most different exclusives on the list. He is a third person shooter set in the fictional city of Sunset City. The player takes control of a former employee of a beverage manufacturer. This company, FizzCo, did not follow safety protocols when producing its products. As a result, their main drink, Overcharge Delirium XT, became so toxic that it turned customers into monsters. The goal, therefore, is to clean up this "dirt" left by FizzCo. The protagonist can be customized any way the player wants at the beginning of the game . He has access to many types of weapons and has other capabilities at his disposal, such as jumping, stunts and parkour techniques to counter enemies. Enemies can be humans, FizzCo robots, and the ODs, the mutant monsters the drinker has become. There is a narrative line that serves as the backdrop for the player's adventures through Sunset City.

8. Ori and the Blind Forest
Ori and the Blind Forest is an art game. Done all in 2D, it has very beautiful, drawn graphics, almost like a great moving watercolor. This makes it the least "commercial" game on this list, mainly because its gameplay is quite simple, giving even greater attention to narrative and visual aspects. There are two protagonists, forming a pair. Sein is the light and eyes of the Spirit Tree, while Ori is a guardian spirit. Sein is capable of launching flames to destroy enemies and objects that are in the way. Ori is already more responsible for movement, as it climbs, jumps and jumps. This title is easy to play and does not require much skill from players. The main goal is to bring splendor to the forest in which the characters live.

9. Halo 5: Guardians
The fifth game of the successful Halo franchise is the first not to be rated for larger. But that's not why Halo 5: Guardians is less explosive and harsh than previous titles. In it, Master Chief disappeared on a mission. Now Fire Team Osiris needs to find it and capture it. Thus, the game plot follows two different narrative lines. In terms of gameplay, new mechanics were introduced in place of others. Armor skills, for example, cease to exist, giving way to Spartan abilities. All equipment of the soldiers, but mainly the armor received improvements. The movement system is now more fluid and allows more flights, jumps and attacks using energy released by this armor. In fact, these new features depend on the context. Evasion, defense or attack will trigger specific armor moves. In general terms, Halo 5: Guardians doesn't innovate much. Fighting continues with the same frenzied intensity, and Master Chief remains the same powerful soldier as ever. The narrative follows the events of Halo 4 , but it doesn't bring much insight either. However, if you want action in the best franchise style, you must surely acquire that title.You must play this game if:
