    Yikes. Mixed reviews on Steam right now.

    All I ask of Xbox is to make one positively reviewed game that isn’t by Obsidian. The last five games made by first party Xbox studios (remasters/re-releases excluded):

    • Forza Motorsport (Mixed reviews)
    • Minecraft Legends (Mixed reviews)
    • Pentiment (Positive reviews) (Obsidian)
    • Grounded (Positive reviews) (Obsidian)
    • Halo Infinite (Mixed reviews)

    Obsidian doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

      I think it’s silly to not call Bethesda a first-party studio tbh. But you know microsoft, they are gonna win that war by buying studios so now the good games that would have come out everywhere are now an xbox game, woo.

        Fair enough. I thought about considering Bethesda, but since the acquisition was not too long ago, I didn’t think MS would have had significant input in any of the recently-released games – aside from making Starfield and Hi-Fi Rush Xbox/PC exclusive.

        Out of their last 5 new IP releases: Starfield, Redfall, Hi-Fi Rush, Ghostwire Tokyo and Deathloop, only Redfall was a dud, so things are a bit better there.

        Well, considering that time was either on the way towards bankruptcy, at bankruptcy, or barely recovering from bankruptcy, it’s a fairly easy explanation as to why they’re doing better now.
