If you’re new to Halo then this is the way to experience the four main Halo games as well as the seminal Halo: Reach and the decent Halo: ODST. While Halo: The Master Chief Collection doesn't actually have an Xbox One-era Halo game, it’s still a must-have for any Xbox One first-person shooter fans.

Still reading? Ok, some 20 minutes or so into your extra-terrestrial exploration and the sun explodes. Read no further if you want to experience the game with no prior knowledge.

Outer Wilds is a low-fi space exploration game with an intriguing mystery at its heart, mixed in with a healthy dose of humor and schadenfreude.
