The game blends live-action clips from the companion television show and also has multiple endings depending on actions the player takes. It looks amazing, plays well, and boasts a gripping story. If you like deep adventures, Quantum Break is the game for you.

6. Halo Wars 2

Halo is traditionally a first-person shooter, but this spin-off turns it into a real-time strategy game. Halo Wars 2 improved upon its predecessor with an improved control scheme and better storyline.

In the game, you must construct and control your base as you build infantry and control their movement on the battlefield. There's a 13-level campaign to sink your teeth into, along with multiple multiplayer modes. If you like traditional Halo, but fancy something different, give Halo Wars 2 a go.

7. Gears 5

Gears 5 is a third-person shooter that moves focus to Kait Diaz, a character from previous games in the series. With the world falling apart, the Swarm has corrupted the Coalition's robot army, and all the while, Kait is making some discoveries about herself.

You can play the campaign with your friends locally or online, along with other modes like escape and versus. You can even build your own maps to challenge others on. Gears 5 looks and feels incredible and is an excellent entry to the series.

8. Forza Motorsport 7

While the Forza Horizon series focuses on arcade racing, Forza Motorsport leans more towards real-world simulation (though is not strictly a full simulation game), with competitive closed tracks to race on.

In Forza Motorsport 7 the franchise has never been better, featuring multiple modes like drift, drag, and time attack, along with more than 700 cars from some of the world's top brands. This car racing game is undeniably thrilling.

9. Halo 5: Guardians

The Halo story will never end, but if it maintains this quality then who cares? Master Chief's saga continues in Halo 5: Guardians, where Fireteam Osiris are sent to find the missing leader of the Blue Team who has vanished on the hunt for Cortana.

The campaign can be played solo or with three friends. There's also the usual excellent multiplayer that fans come to expect with Halo, featuring 24-player battles, arena, attack-and-defend, and much more.

10. Rare Replay

Rare is a legendary developer, best known for GoldenEye 007 and the Banjo-Kazooie series. This collection brings together 30 games from its history, and they're packaged up with bonus features like developer commentaries too.

Classics like Battletoads, Perfect Dark, and Viva Piñata are included here, spanning genres like 3D platforming, fighting, and first-person shooting, and they all stand the test of time. Take a break from the modern games and appreciate the past.

11. Forza Horizon 3

While the follow-up to Forza Horizon 3 is also featured on this list, that doesn't mean this one isn't worth your time. Forza Horizon 3 stands up as a brilliant, fast-paced racing game set in Australia.

There's nothing better than racing across desert and land in this open-world racer. You will spend hours competing in all of the races, smashing the billboards, and discovering the hidden cars. Plus there's the awesome Blizzard Mountain and Hot Wheels DLC to tackle once you're done with all of that.

12. Crackdown 3

Crackdown 3 is a fun and frenetic sandbox that lets you become the super-powered Agent as you race through the streets and use your powers to stop a criminal empire.

You can level up various skills like agility and explosives, which in turn unlocks new maneuvers or items. It's enjoyable just to mess around in Crackdown's world, especially as you grow more powerful. If you're a fan of the series, you won't be disappointed with this.
