Metacritic has compiled a list of the top ten games for both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S according to aggregated ratings from critics, celebrating a fantastic selection of games that graced our consoles last year.
It's an eye-opener to an amazing selection of games, many of which we'd forgotten about. There's also a great mix of genres in the offering, from the brilliant Tetris Effect: Connected to the brutal, gory action of the DOOM Eternal. We've compiled the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S into one definitive list.
Here's the full list and their Metacritic average:
- Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition - 91
- F1 2020 - 91
- Ori and the Will of the Wisps - 90
- Yakuza 0 - 90
- Yakuza: Like a Dragon - 89
- Tetris Effect: Connected - 88
- DOOM Eternal - 88
- Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 - 88
- Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition - 87
- Huntdown - 87
The highest rated Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S game of the year was technically Tetris Effect: Connected (Yakuza: Like a Dragon scored 89 for Xbox One), while Call of the Sea was the highest rated "exclusive".

Dragon Quest XI is great, though it really screws with my "ah the end is coming, best get some side quests" sense.
"oh looks like this is heading to the final showdown" - me 100 hours of playtime ago.
Dragon Quest deserves that rating. I'm currently replaying the game on my Series X. I beat it originally on my PS4 years ago.
Additionally, Yakuza 0 is phenomenal. I consider it in my top 10 games of all time, and I have Yakuza: Like A Dragon that I need to eventually start.
DOOM Eternal is also a must play experience, although I wasn't too fond of the DLC. The game was my GOTY until Immortals Fenyx Rising came by and took me by surprise.
I still need to try out Kentucky Route Zero, but I think I'll play that on my Switch at some point instead of Xbox.
Hopefully xbox step up their exclusive games this year as looking at that list there isn't a single exclsuive in it
What an awesome lineup of games
@UltimateOtaku91 well to be fair Ori is technically their IP...
Not a vintage year for Xbox.
Hopefully better in 2021, but I think Covid
Is already hitting some games with delays and it’s only January.
I can Xbox and PlayStation only getting one big AAA exclusive out this year.
Nintendo may surprise us, as their internal studios did not release much 2020. Also the switch is quicker to develop for, no 4K, hi res textures, complex graphics and sound.
