Xbox One, Microsoft's successor to the Xbox 360, turned five-years old in 2018. This year, Xbox One still lacked the sheer volume of quality exclusives that its competitors produced. However, platform holder Microsoft took steps towards improving Xbox One's future by increasing the appeal of the console for anyone who already owns one.
So as we say goodbye to 2018, let's look back at the type of year Xbox One had.
Combining elements from many genres into one incredibly charming and addictive package, Roboquest is the best roguelike you’re not playing.
Pocketpair, the developer behind Palworld, has said that the studio plans to remain a small independent game developer.
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
The only redeeming point for xbox this year was the announcement of studio acquisitions. But that really only applies to xbox as a whole, not specifically the xbox one. 2018 was another bust in terms of 1st/2nd party game selection. The only "MS" game I purchased was FH4 and that was because they still make the ultimate edition in a steelbook case.
Games pass, and EA give me Access to over 250 games, at any given time. EA access is $29.00 per year, and I got Games Pass for $60 for the year.

Overall I give Xbox One in 2018 a B-. Needs improvements in the first party but all other section are thriving.
Personally ms got an at from me this year because this was the year I sold my Xbox and parted ways with the platform. I’ll pribably pick up the next Xbox or a one x when they are cheap for my digital library of games and ori 2
