We're almost exactly halfway through the year, and while the latter half is usually the busier of the two, we've already seen some fantastic titles released on Xbox over the past few months.
New games from major franchises such as Resident Evil, DOOM and Gears of War have all hit the market in recent months, while Xbox Game Pass has continued to add to its library with consistently great titles including Red Dead Redemption 2, Minecraft Dungeons, Streets of Rage 4 and No Man's Sky.
But even so, we don't want to restrict this talking point to just new releases. Maybe you've played an old Xbox 360 title that you've particularly enjoyed this year? Possibly even an Xbox original? We want to know what your favourite game has been over the past six months - old or new - so wax lyrical to us in the comments below!

Doom Eternal and Ori are absolutely incredible. I also beat Perfect Dark for the first time đź‘Ť
Doom Eternal for me.
Ori was my favorite new game this year. But the most unanticipated fun that I’ve had was playing Psychonauts for the first time. I was curious what it was like with number 2 coming out so I gave it a shot and loved it! My four year old son had never played a game before but he wanted to play the mailman level that I was playing so I let him use the Xbox controller for the first time. He kept running off the edge and laughing at the scream Raz made. Now all he wants to do is play “Raz”. An interesting first game to be sure, but it’s made for a great experience. Along with the great gameplay and story of course lol
I usually play games that a are a bit older because of my backlog and having missed last generation except Wii/DS. I have played Resident Evil 2 and Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition recently on Xbox One X and I loved both but Final Fantasy XV was better than expected.
Resident Evil 3 - it's got its issues, of course, but I think it's a great take on the story overall.
Ori was one of the most beautiful games I've ever played and the best I've played so far in 2020.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps. What a surprise that was. The first was good but this one just exceeded every expectation. This will end up being a GOTY in my books. A game with virtually no faults (I played a month after release post patch)
SOR 4 was great fun, FFVII remake disappointed, Doom Eternal and Nioh 2 are both excellent but Ori still wins it for me
Ori is not only my favorite Xbox game this year, it’s one of my favorite games this console gen. It was gorgeous, the sound and music were perfect and the gameplay was fluid and beautifully done. It’s a masterpiece of a game.
Dang, this is hard. I haven't beaten Ori yet (I will on SX), but I loved Doom Eternal and Resi 3. Not sure which one I liked more, but probably Resi 3. Even though it was short, it was an amazing 8 or 9 hours for me, and I can see myself replaying it for fun at some point. Doom Eternal was such an incredible game as well, and really looking forward to the dlc for that game.
Streets of Rage 4 no doubt. Been waiting a long time for that one. When it came out it was worth the wait!!!
Red Dead Redemption 2 for me still, That game is a masterpiece..
Wandersong. I beat it not too long ago, but some of its emotional moments still linger in my head. Great characters and a story that I really needed for this year.
Also, I think I beat PeaceWalker this year? I'm not sure. The Pandemic has been messing with my sense of time. ( T_T)
But PW just has so much that I love in it. It feels like a Metal Gear game made out of a sense of love instead of a sense of duty.
Gotta admit that I've been enjoying two games for the XBONE...Super Lucky's Tale and Ori And The Blind Forest. Hopefully, I can find the physical version of Ori 2 in stores soon, to have a new one.
Gears of war, killer instinct, injustice, ghost recon.
Probably Forza horizon 4 with all the dlc but I have been playing Gears of War on the 360 to collect some more achievements
Ori & Resident Evil 3 are my favourites, I think. Although, while it gets a lot of flack, Bleeding Edge has been a blast.
My taste in games might not be great.
Ori, Project Warlock and Huntdown.
I still haven't played Doom Eternal or the Resi 3 remake yet, but I did enjoy Modern Warfare 2 - Remastered, which to me was the last truly great COD, from back when Infinity Ward were still Infinity Ward. It's telling that the best CODs of this generation are remasters of the two best CODs from the last generation.
I also replayed Batman: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City and Arkham Origins, with the intention of revisiting Arkham Knight soon. Asylum and City are still exceptional games, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Origins too. Rocksteady and WB Games Montreal need to reveal what they're working on next soon.
