As a single experience, Headline: NoviNews works quite well, despite having some dark outcomes. But it's lack of depth means you'll get little from playing it through a second time.
Initial bewilderment gives way to fascination as you understand what Ancestors is trying to do, but fiddly controls and a lack of hand-holding leads to frustration

Children of Morta is a rewarding action RPG with a lot of heart, providing you can make it through its repetitive opening hours.
Hyperforma is constantly stunning in terms of looks, but you'll spend too much time wondering what you're supposed to be doing.
Star Wars Pinball is a superb time-waster, packing in plenty of fan service and some well-crafted pinball tables. If you're a Star Wars fan you need to play this!
eFootball PES 2020 has gameplay that feels much more realistic, and each game is more about careful approaches than counter attacks. Most of the modes remain relatively unchanged, but the actual game is lots of fun to play as long as you're not having issues with the AI.
Knights and Bikes is a lovely warm blanket of childhood adventure and imagination, and a perfect game to play with a young family.

Mixing puzzles, stealth and even mild horror elements, FRACTER is a short, sweet adventure that's just fun to play.
If you didn't think you needed another Gears of War, you were wrong. Gears 5 is a barnstorming success, and a triumphant return for the series. This is the essential first party game the Xbox One desperately needed.
Iceborne is one of the very best examples of how to produce paid content for a AAA game. It fixes almost all of World's issues, and adds so much to the package. It doesn't feel like an expansion; it feels like a sequel. A fantastic experience.
Making small improvements over previous games not only adds up to WRC 8 being the best in the series, it's also one of the best rally games around.
