#10 Halo 5: Guardians
- Developer: 343 Industries
- Publisher: Microsoft Studios
Halo 5: Guardians is currently the latest main installment to the Halo franchise. Under the new development team, 343 Industries, fans of the franchise was given a slightly different take to a Halo game. Instead of the main focus being Master Chief, players were split between our beloved hero and a new team of Spartan’s.
It seemed that Master Chief had suddenly gone rogue leaving a new team to track and discover what is going on with the famed supersoldier. There was also some slight changes to the gameplay mechanics and while this title was received with positive reviews, the game wasn’t the most welcomed installment of the series for longtime fans.
With that said, if you have yet to try the game out then we recommend giving it a go today.
#9 Rare Replay

#8 Gears of War 4

- Publisher: Microsoft Studios
The Gears of War franchise has been popular since it first debuted on the Xbox 360. Years later the game series received its fourth main installment that followed years after the events of Gears of War 3.
Players this time around took control of J.D. Fenix, the son of Marcus Fenix, who is a member of the COG army.

#7 Gears 5
- Developer: The Coalition
- Publisher: Xbox Game Studios
Gears of War 5, which is also known simply as Gears 5, will follow a female protagonist Kait Diaz as she embarks away from COG, or known as The Coalition of Ordered Governments army. Within the game, Kait has been dealing with visions that may take her journey to showcase truth behind the origins of the Locust. As you progress through the narrative, you start to unravel more truth to your family lineage but we’ll, of course, refrain from spoiling anything here.
Gameplay, as you can expect, plays a lot like the previous installments. Players will be going through cover-based combat while also sawing through hostilities. This game, much like other video game titles on this list offer a multiplayer component but you can still enjoy the game as a single-player experience.
