Yikes. Mixed reviews on Steam right now.
All I ask of Xbox is to make one positively reviewed game that isn't by Obsidian. The last five games made by first party Xbox studios (remasters/re-releases excluded):
Obsidian doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
I think it's silly to not call Bethesda a first-party studio tbh. But you know microsoft, they are gonna win that war by buying studios so now the good games that would have come out everywhere are now an xbox game, woo.
Fair enough. I thought about considering Bethesda, but since the acquisition was not too long ago, I didn't think MS would have had significant input in any of the recently-released games – aside from making Starfield and Hi-Fi Rush Xbox/PC exclusive.
Out of their last 5 new IP releases: Starfield, Redfall, Hi-Fi Rush, Ghostwire Tokyo and Deathloop, only Redfall was a dud, so things are a bit better there.
Obsidian seem to be doing better than before they were acquired too
Well, considering that time was either on the way towards bankruptcy, at bankruptcy, or barely recovering from bankruptcy, it's a fairly easy explanation as to why they're doing better now.
Hi-Fi Rush by Tango is Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam. And came out during the run you listed above.
I listed Bethesda games separately.
