Here My List The Top 10 Xbox One Exclusives Microsoft Games

10 . Voodoo Vince: Remastered

A cult classic among Xbox 360 players for his energetic debut back in 2003. With the powers of magic coursing through the fabric of patched-up self, a mere voodoo doll becomes the platforming icon we didn't know we needed.

It was simple yet challenging platformer with a lot of personality. While he has been forgotten for a while, just like the magic of his birth, this remaster has managed to breath new life the platformer. A traditional remaster, you won't find any new levels, monsters or secrets but it does a good job of modernizing the game for today's generation.

With smooth 1080p resolutions and 60fps, his strange world looks more alive than ever and the game’s signature style shines through in every stage. Released years after their original release. Voodoo Vince retains a freshness that makes it feel almost like a new game entirely. 

Travel through the french quarters of New Orleans, revel in the game’s cool, jazzy tunes, and eliminate the creatures that stand in your way. Ordinary as some of his platform ventures may be, Vince’s magical quest to save his ailing shop owner also has some smart features that make use of his voodoo nature. With his pain reflecting back to his opponents, squish him around to do damage to level bosses or to solve the puzzles in your way. But, with a little over 8 hours of content, Vince’s silly adventure is regrettably short.

It has a PlayScore of 8.17.

9 . Powerstar Golf

No matter how unexpected, Golf games have sneaked themselves into videogame history, and has become sort of a staple in the industry. In a square off against Sony's Everybody's Golf series, the Xbox One definitely on par with the competition. Steering away from the cutesy animal visuals and opting for the more western, cartoony look--Powerstar Golf shows off its animated movie like characters that really seem to fit into their superpowered performances.

Just like most games, Powerstar golf offers the relaxing tranquility that's inherent in the sport itself. But it takes it to a whole new level by adding a lineup of characters with their own unique skills and personalities, and topping it all off with a robust progression system. The courses themselves might not be any special, but it ensures that there's never a subpar moment as you shoot for birdies with you special moves, take bonuses from your caddies, and gain experience for each one of your actions.

Those three mechanics form an impeccable trio that create an overall addictive gameplay experience that let you sink holes, hours, and more holes. Despite its addicting arcade atmosphere, the game has received pretty mixed reviews. While it offers a Rivals mode that lets you compete against your friends' performances in an asynchronous multiplayer, it just doesn't seem to match up to an actual online multiplayer mode.

It has a PlayScore of 8.38.

8. Max: The Curse of Brotherhood

Microsoft is a hotpot of good platformers and metroidvanias. This Xbox One exclusive is a sequel to an adorable 2010 adventure game, Max & The Magic Marker. The Curse of Brotherhood is a captivating platformer. Take the role of Max as he suffers the consequences of banishing his obnoxious little brother to a mystical realm.

The task is simple, rescue your brother. As you descend into the game’s magical world, you’ll encounter mystical beings not familiar to the real world. Magic is required, that’s why the game’.main feature lies in its Magical Marker.

Use this powerful object to manipulate the flow of your journey. Solve puzzles by pulling out a cliff from the ground, creating a water sprout or growing a vine. However, these moves are limited and players must think before the Marker runs out of ink. Throughout the adventure, players will encounter even more difficult challenges. The need for faster reflexes can be a chore, but for adept players, it’s a fun experience.

Wonky controls aside, this game is brimming with beautiful visuals. For a 2013 game, it’s oozing with sparkling colors that somewhat resembles a Pixar film. But the game is not perfect. As mentioned the game is marred with clunky controls, but that doesn’t stop the players from forgiving it and enjoy the bountiful amount of collectibles and it's gorgeous world.

For beginners, State of Decay is a single player adventure that takes you to a land filled with the undead.

6. Dead Rising 3

Funny how two zombie games manage to enter Xbox One’s list of exclusives. CAPCOM’s third major entry to the famed zombie-slaying franchise is back. Move away from the protagonist of its predecessors and step into the shoes of Nick Ramos. A simple man trying to find his way around life in a zombie-infested California.Much like its predecessors, it’s an undead playground.

If the Grand Theft Auto series was a hub for mayhem and destruction for fictional civilians, then Dead Rising 3 is like George Romero’s brain without a much serious tone.

Third time’s the charm, so CAPCOM did so well with amping up the degree of zombies present on screen. You’re literally plastered in a world where you can do anything to these pathetic brainless monstrosities. But the joy comes in the things you do. The best part about every Dead Rising game is the amount of things you can do. In 3, everything is improved. From the combat, customizations and of course, the zombie count. Go to the nearest Gun Shop or mall to snag that perfect weapon combination.

Want to build a Laser Gun made of Microwave? Experiment with your heart’s content. Compared to its predecessors, there will be no Zombrex finding this time. Instead, the city is about to blow and you must do whatever you can in a span of a few hours. Do side quests, find the perfect vehicle and survive the carnage.

5. Kalimba

A shining example for videogames done right, it shows us that you don't really need 3D, realistic graphics to have fun. Kalimba takes into the world of co-op puzzle platforming with a colorful, tropical twist. While there are hundreds of couch party games out there, Kalimba nails almost every rule in co-op party game creation and that's just one of the best things about it.

Playing alone or with your friends, control each of the pieces and avoid color-coded obstacles using your acquired skills and reflexes. Offering a worthy challenge in single player and co-op mode, its demanding stages might put a bit of strain on your relationships. Even with its simple mechanics, Kalimba is riddled with excellent ideas all throughout. Its basic premise gets reinvented and reused in imaginative ways that makes for brain-teasing and patience-testing fun.

With its lively visuals, responsive controls, and frenzied multiplayer, it's the perfect party game for your Xbox One needs. Short as it is, it offers just the right amount of energy and creativity that will make you want to play it again and again. Solve puzzles, test your reflexes, and just have fun!

4. Gears Of War: Ultimate Edition

The pinnacle for cover-based shooting games. This remastered version reminds us that the series has come a long way since its debut in 2006.

Shame it’s locked at 30fps. But that’s not a problem. As for its Ultimate Edition title, the game offers 5 new chapters that was once part of the PC original. It’ll add more layers to the story, and action. Two new multiplayer modes are also added called King of the Hill and Team Deathmatch. It’s pretty self-explanatory and it adds a bit of fun to the game itself. Feel the gut wrenching violence with you and your friends. A well-loved classic with a good remaster.
