Welcome to the first official Xbox One DualShockers Definitives list! This week has been a hard one for DualShockers staff, thanks to much arguing and nit-picking over which games in the amazing Xbox One library make the Top 10. If you missed the original post, here is a quick TLDR on what this is all about:
Earlier this year during E3, I was able to check out Tunic in a behind-closed-doors presentation and came away thrilled with what I saw. Tunic’s quiet presentation, whimsical art style, and fantastic soundtrack created an aesthetic unlike any other I’ve really seen before quickly making it one of the upcoming indie game I was most looking forward to playing.
If you’re a fan of Blizzard titles you may already know just how important Halloween is for games like Overwatch or World of Warcraft. It’s a time to earn special spooky unlocks and rewards for a limited time, and for Hearthstone–“Hallow’s End” brings with it two Tavern Brawls, costume party Arena runs, and two new
When I was asked to review the Razer Raiju Ultimate I expected a run-of-the-mill third-party controller with a few extra buttons on it. My frame of reference only included the Xbox One Elite Controller, which I’ve been gaming on for almost 3 years now. Let’s just say I wasn’t ready for something like this. The

Both Portal and Bridge Constructor offer unique takes on the puzzle genre, and together they work surprisingly well in Bridge Constructor Portal. When the game hit PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in Feburary, DualShockers’ own Tanner Pierce reviewed the title quite well, giving it an 8.5 and saying that the mash-up was “worthy of
Atlus has gone ahead and released, not one, but two new trailers for their upcoming Persona spinoff games, Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight and Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight.

As soon as the Nintendo Switch hit store shelves last March, creative folks did not hesitate to make good use of the system’s Joy-Con controllers. Over the course of the past two years we’ve seen a Joy-Con keyboard, a Joy-Con cup holder, and most modestly, Joy-Con modified to give the Nintendo Switch a much-desired D-pad.

I may not be the dedicated fighting genre expert here at DualShockers, but within the last few years I’ve certainly opened up my range. Most recently I spent dozens of hours nearly platinum-ing SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy and I got lost in my review of Tekken 7, a game I maintain is a return to form for the
During a livestream for The Quiet Man earlier today, Square Enix announced that a new game mode would be introduced in a free update a week after release.

The upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusive Pokémon games Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! are clearly taking several steps to be more accessible like Pokémon GO in both presentation and gameplay.

During the early days of Fortnite Battle Royale, one of the few things that the game was missing was a selection of vehicles to truly make Fortnite into a fun, rowdy, sandbox game.

Compile Heart released the opening sequence for Eshigami no Kizuna, the game featuring popular Osamu Tezuka characters turned into cute girls.

Emotion, expression, and feeling aren’t particularly the main points of focus when we talk about video games. Maybe a well-produced and motion captured cutscene produced tears, a tense multiplayer round without respawning caused sweaty palms gripping the controller, or an NPC or announcer made a quip that earned a chuckle. When I played Wandersong, I
Destiny 2‘s Festival of the Lost event is now live and will run through to November 6th at 10:00 A.M. Pacific.

Fortnite: Battle Royale has taken the world by storm; there’s no doubting that. Schools have had to ban the game, mainstream media is shouting about it, and parents often moan about their kids being on it for hours on end.
