    You'd probably get a better response in the Xbox Forums.

    EA one is great for the sports titles if thats your thing. You wont have the latest but if your just getting back to it that might matter. Titanfall is great fun. Battlefield and Dragon Ages there too... The Mass Effect games. Plants Vs Zombies :) Less said about Need for Speed the better. Its a long enough list.

    Xbox Game Pass is looking better all the time. MSFT trying to create a netflix of games i suppose and their own in house games like Gears of War and Forza going directly there day one. Forza Horizon 4 is the end of Sept i think. Currently has a long enough list to keep you occupied indefinately. Fallout 4, All the gears games, Rocket League, Halo 5 (others are coming once they'd been updated) Over 100 games total. Seems 215 games at the moment.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

    You'll need nothing more.

    Go for the full package.

    Ori and the Blind Forest and Cuphead are two excellent indie games worth playing.

    If you like online shooters Overwatch is excellent.

    Doom and Titanfall 2 are well worth playing as well. Doom is available on Gamepass and TF2 on EA Access. You should give Halo Master Chief Collection a go as well (think this might be available on Gamepass as well).

    Witcher 3 is probably one of the best games ever made but it's absolutely huge.

    Other single player games to consider are Sunset Overdrive, Tomb Raider remakes and Dark Souls.

    Just finished this recently, wasn't a big fan of this kind of game and preferred shooters but couldn't put this down, the amount of times that you end up doing side quests for the craic.

    I have the EA access and think it's worth the €24 (cdkeys) for the year subscription. I'd always go for Xbox live subscription as well, free games very month and For Honor is free from Thursday as well so that could be a good pickup.

    I've had mine for a year now and the main games I play are Overwatch, PUBG, Witcher 3 and NBA.

    Not a bad time to get into Xbox for the first time.

    I would say definitely use up any free trials of EA Access and Game Pass. There are lots of games in there and it'll cost you n'out.

    Gears of War back catalog (avoid Judgement though) - Gears 1 is the reason I got back into gaming after "growing out of it" in late teens.
    Rise of Tomb Raider
    Titanfall 2
    Halo (not a big fan but it seems popular)

    That's a small sample - there really are too many to say

    Are there as many cut scenes in Witcher 3 as Witcher2? Heard so much good, but reluctant to pull the trigger. W2 annoyed me. Lasted an hour of it.


    Edit: assassins creed origins is worth a punt.

    There's a few but, I mean, it's leaps and bounds ahead of W2.

    As for the o.p., I really enjoyed the Wolfenstein games!

    I got tired of Witcher 2, but Witcher 3 is absolutely superb. Just get it.

    I'm guessing then you don't need to have played 1 or 2 to get in on 3? Have never played any of the Witcher games but am considering 3 based on the feedback.

    I never got into 1 or 2, but 3 was amazing, and it never felt that I was missing massive parts of the story. I'd have no problem recommending it and it's two DLC. In fact, it's probably the one game where I'd say the DLC is as good as the main game.

    There's a few things to note before you start on it though. You start out in White Orchard, a tutorial area. It's not great, to be honest. Get the witcher gear from there and get into the main game asap. It's also an incredibly dense game, for me, I compare it to watching The Wire, or Breaking Bad. I had to take breaks from it occasionally, as I realised I wasn't appreciating the story lines.

    It's important to load up in White orchard as much as you can though. It makes some of the early boss fights later on a bit easier.
