Heard good things about AC: Origins on XB1X (Gaming)

I got myself a One X. Yeah, it's probably a dumb decision, but $185 in Gamestop credit and a fresh $300 cash from selling some Jeep parts this morning was burning a hole in my pocket, so I did the dumb thing.

It's sort of like coming home in a really dumb way.

My short list right now is:

-Gears of War 4 from the two week trial of Game Pass
-Cuphead
-Forza 7 or Horizon 3, I'm not sure which yet. I love Forza, and nothing on Sony's side even comes close to measuring up for me.

That's honestly it. Are there any other standouts I've missed since late 2015? Recore and Quantum Break don't really interest me that much, and those are the only two biggish exclusives I can think of off the top of my head.

I'm redownloading the Master Chief collection and Halo 5 (and real bummed that I can't find my Reach disc, even though I know I have it around here somewhere) because I'm itching for some Halo.

I don't currently plan on getting Destiny 2 on it, but I'm sure I'll give in to a stupid impulse and end up with it eventually.

Immediately, I'm struck by how good the download speeds are. PSN still sucks in that regard. I'm hitting 200 Mb/s downloading Gears 4, and I don't think PSN has ever come close to that.

If you haven't I'd rock through the following:

• Doom (daaaamn)
  
• Destiny 2: I know you're avoiding it, but again DAMMMMNNN it looks amazing in 4k HDR
  
• Witcher 3 (DAAAAAAMMMMMMNNNNNN)

I've played DOOM and AC: Origins already, so those are a no go.

I do have a PS4 Pro, so I've seen Destiny in HDR 4K. It might look better on the One X, and I'm sure I'll find out eventually, but I doubt it's too significant.

The Witcher 3 is already being downloaded. I originally played it on the Xbox One, then bought it again when I got a PS4. The HDR patch still hasn't made its way to PS4 yet, so I'm eager to jump in and see how good it looks.
