    Back for blood was trash compared to the old ones. Nobody wants to stop and exchange ammo every few moments while unlimited non stop zombies hit you in the back while trying to take a moment to prep. It should be about twitch skills not survival horror planning and prepping and stopping to do anything but grab some ammo and keep going.

    How lazy is this dude
    Half the games you listed on your ps5 list
    And you didn’t even play them
    If you don’t play them
    Don’t put clickbait up to annpy



  4. renato pinheiro on February 14, 2022 at 10:37 pm

    I wasn’t expecting halo to be so good it’s ease for me the number one in 2021 I hadn’t played halo before and because of this game I started finishing all halo campaigns.



  5. William Galvez on February 14, 2022 at 10:39 pm

    Lotta good games this year. Top 10 for me: Halo, Forza, Deaths Door, Psychonaughts 2, RE8, Tales of Arise, Metroid Dread, The Artful Escape, 12 Minutes and Monster Hunter Rise. All 🔥🔥



  6. CharGasM on February 14, 2022 at 10:41 pm

    Really good year for xbox and gamepass



  7. xGhostx97 on February 14, 2022 at 10:41 pm

    Merry Christmas, Destin!



  8. Cristopher on February 14, 2022 at 10:46 pm

    Recently picked up a series X, Forza is such an amazing game. Was kinda disappointed with halo tho. Forza and Returnal are my GOTY



  9. It's Just Jess on February 14, 2022 at 10:46 pm

    Same.! I was playing last night in PC past midnight haha 😁😁



  10. Nate on February 14, 2022 at 10:48 pm

    Halo would be good if the multiplayer servers weren’t shit



  11. GILLIE CAL on February 14, 2022 at 10:49 pm

    Very good list!!! 🤙🏽



  12. LadiesMan217 on February 14, 2022 at 10:49 pm

    Back for blood rubbish! Don’t buy it!



  13. InugamiTheHound on February 14, 2022 at 10:49 pm

    scarlet nexus and the ascent are both damn good, The yakuza collection on xbox along with tales of arise



  14. Michael on February 14, 2022 at 10:50 pm

    Failbox has no games



  15. symbolic503 on February 14, 2022 at 10:50 pm

    i mean to be fair there were only like 10 games total



  16. CertifiedBrain on February 14, 2022 at 10:52 pm

    My top 10:

    10. Back 4 blood.
    9. Minecraft.
    8. Sea of thieves.
    7. Forza horizon 2.
    6. Sunset overdrive.
    5. Prototype.
    4: Subnautica: both versions.
    3: Call of duty: black Ops 2.
    2: Forza Horizon 5.
    1: Grand theft auto.

    Both Forza 5 and Gta fight over the lead cause most of the time I can’t really choose which is better.

    Edit: The new Jurassic world game that I recently just bought could possibly be on the list.



  17. Anirban Das on February 14, 2022 at 10:52 pm

    Hyping shitty games .. get a life and a PS5



  18. Daniel San on February 14, 2022 at 10:54 pm

    AOE IV is not on Xbox 👎 Mass Effect is not from 2021 and totaly overrated, flight Simulator is 30fps and have no Story. Halo is horrobil, a bullshit Story, a ugly open World. Multiplayer is full of Cheater.



  19. John Landoni on February 14, 2022 at 10:55 pm

    Merry Christmas Destin! Have fun with the little one, each year it’s a different joy this time of year with them!



  20. TheEngwall on February 14, 2022 at 10:57 pm

    Psychonauts 2 is my #1 pick for GOTY, with Halo Infinite as #2



  21. wayjohnson1 on February 14, 2022 at 10:57 pm

    Where is Doom Eternal, The Acent, Twelve Minutes, The Artful Escape, Hive Busters just to name a few 🤔🙄



  22. Matt G on February 14, 2022 at 10:57 pm

    I feel like I’m the only person who has an X-Box and doesn’t love Halo. My top 10:

    10. Flight Simulator
    9. MLB The Show: 21
    8. NBA 2K 22
    7. Madden 22
    6. Resident Evil 8
    5. Cyberpunk (this speaks to the Series X making it playable)
    4. Hitman 3
    3. Mass Effect Legendary Edition
    2. Spider-Man: Miles Morales
    1. Forza Horizon 5

    I’d have Halo 12th, behind Wreckfest, which was given new life in my library with its next-gen update. I honestly don’t understand the love affair with Halo. I like it, but it’s a game I can easily put down because there’s so much else I’d rather play. Admittedly, I’m not a big fan of first-person shooters. The only shooter I’ve absolutely loved is the Call of Duty that came out with the 360 launch, so that could be why. To each their own, but my eyes roll with every Halo praise. I’ll keep playing it in hopes I see why it’s beloved.



  23. Frederick Kruger on February 14, 2022 at 11:00 pm

    My lovely wife bought me a Series S for Christmas. Been playing Halo all day. I got a PS5 last year so now I’m set for sooo many games.



  24. 03chrisv on February 14, 2022 at 11:02 pm

    I own all three current gen consoles so my top 10 is:

    10. Death Stranding Director’s Cut
    9. Metroid Dread
    8. Kena Bridge of Spirits
    7. Psychonauts 2
    6. Resident Evil Village
    5. Ghosts of Tsushima Director’s Cut
    4. Final Fantasy 7 Integrade
    3. Forza Horizon 5
    2. Halo Infinite
    1. Returnal

    So basically 2021 sucked for gaming



  27. Giacomo Rossi on February 14, 2022 at 11:06 pm

    Hitman 3 was a great game this year.



  28. ARNotSkywalker on February 14, 2022 at 11:13 pm

    Dig the list!
    If I ranked the games I played on my Xbox this year, it would be as follows:

    1) Halo Infinite / ME Legendary Edition
    Was my first time playing ANY of the ME games… I fell in love with them, got every single achievement in the collection.

    2) Psychonauts 2
    3) It Takes 2
    4) Forza Horizon 5
    5) Guardians of the Galaxy
    6) Death’s Door
    7) Narita Boy – don’t sleep on this one! it is on gamepass!
    8) The Artful Escape
    9) Back 4 Blood
    10) 12 Minutes… actually had a blast with it

    *Unranked: Man, flight-sim’s console launch was so exciting. What a treat. It launched shortly after I got my OLED tv… and it was beautiful.

    Honorable mentions: Loved Omno! I need to play Forgotten City, the Ascent, and Unsighted (also on gamepass)



  29. Michael Andrew on February 14, 2022 at 11:13 pm

    Come one village was amazing



  30. Ernie Gutierrez on February 14, 2022 at 11:15 pm

    I’ve been playing a lot Halo Infinite and Quake Arena Arcade (Xbox backwards compatibility)



  31. melody person on February 14, 2022 at 11:16 pm

    R these all 18s?



  32. Jeff Barr on February 14, 2022 at 11:16 pm

    Very shocked u didn’t put Mass Effect higher.



  33. BearTackle on February 14, 2022 at 11:18 pm

    I’ve been into more realistic games this year: MLB The Show, Flight Simulator, and Forza Horizon 5. Plus Psychonauts 2 and It Takes Two. I do recommend for your list to put games you didn’t play as "Honorable Mentioned" to make your list more believable.

    Sometimes games aren’t as good as people say (like Cyberpunk 2077) so it’s good not to assume unless you play it.



  34. Patricia Morgan on February 14, 2022 at 11:21 pm

    I agree with your # 1. Halo Infinite is my GOTY. I had Psychonauts at # 2. Then at # 3 I had my biggest surprise of the year Guardians of the Galaxy. I suggest you check it out if you haven’t.. # 4 I had Resident Evil 8.. Then Hitman 3 at # 5 to round out my personal Xbox top 5.



  35. Fellipe Anselmo Gemio on February 14, 2022 at 11:21 pm

    This year I played more my Jaguar with homebrew games than the Xbox Series X



  36. GL1tch3D on February 14, 2022 at 11:22 pm

    Ill name a few, gta5 minecraft fortnite jump force halo cod modern warfare cod ghosts cod advanced warfare cod cold war codwarzone among us rocket league resident evil forza horizon 5 apex legends



  37. Idle Carnage on February 14, 2022 at 11:23 pm

    It took a year but Outriders finally feels like a good game.



  38. MortalReach on February 14, 2022 at 11:24 pm

    If you see the Xbox documentary, you can see that, they are on the the way to get back that gaming glory before Xbox One and kinect launch 😊🎄🎁 Merry Christmas!



  39. Andrew Dixon on February 14, 2022 at 11:26 pm

    Let’s be real, halo infinite doesn’t deserve #1, not that it’s bad, just not a finished product and has some terrible problems AT THE MOMENT. I would’ve put it at the #2 or #3 spots.



  40. XCłł on February 14, 2022 at 11:27 pm

    Got a new xbox last year as soon as it came out but it’s my first time turning it on now curious what everyone is playing at the moment



  41. Cyber Mentor on February 14, 2022 at 11:28 pm

    cant take you seriously with back 4 blood on ur list



  42. Knache 38 on February 14, 2022 at 11:29 pm

    DeathsDoor is awesome😎



  43. Ardorias on February 14, 2022 at 11:29 pm

    Forza Horizon 5 was my favorite Xbox Game this year. I still have to beat Halo Infinite’s campaign as I was quite busy working until now



  44. Hag on February 14, 2022 at 11:31 pm

    I’d have to argue that Age of Empires is not an Xbox game…it’s a PC game.

    Thanks for the videos and keep it up!



  45. Mark186 on February 14, 2022 at 11:31 pm

    Merry Christmas Destin and everyone 🎄🎁

    Is Destin Canadian? Just noticed “Onexpected” 😅



  50. Jeremy Tarwater on February 14, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    Why did you include Age of Empires IV? That’s a PC exclusive, not an Xbox game -_-
