One of the strengths of the Xbox One is the presence, in addition to the rich catalogue of AAA titles like Halo, Fallout, Tomb Raider and Battlefront, a lush indie-developed titles from smaller and larger team but without the financial backing of a Publisher-which already this year gave us lots of interesting gems. And The 2016 seems not to be outdone, with lots of new upcoming titles by program ID at Xbox and many more surprises in store. Here is a ranking of the 10 indie titles that you should better take an eye out next year, in addition to the many who will be announced directly next year.

#10 - Ark: Survival Evolved

It is the least expected title listed, but only because it is already available in Game Preview, so it is playable in a version still incomplete as you read these lines. But despite still missing many months of the release of the full version, what is offered in this ambitious survival game that mixes dinosaurs, primitive and bizarre technologies in a world alive with so many other players who try to survive, is really impressive and promising, and we can't wait to see what else will come in the future.

# 9-Gunscape

Fans of Quake III Arena? Lovers of Minecraft? If you answered positively to both of these questions, chances are that you will love Gunscape. This promising title, players can create arenas for multiplayer shootouts in a fast FPS, or alternatively follow the real campaigns with monsters to defeat, puzzles to solve, and so on. Everything in the simplicity of the block system popularized by Minecraft. If he can keep all the promises, Gunscape may become a must for all FPS fans with creativity and also for those who are used to host many friends at home by supporting local split-screen up to 8 players.

# 8-Gone Home

One of the first games of 2016 will be the Xbox One version of this gem that has depopulated on PC for the past few years. An intimate first-person adventure with no apparent targets, where the protagonist must explore its old House by interacting with objects and going to see a texture made up of fragmented memories and intimate surprises. The Xbox One version has also undergone an upgrade chart and command improvements compared to the other PC, then you have already played in the title or not, there are many reasons to expect an unmissable title.

# 7-Bombshell

Should have been a spin-off of Duke Nukem with isometric view, but it didn't happen for legal reasons forcing developers to rename and remove the Duke in favour of not less tamarra Bombshell . But the title is less charming: made by the Danes Interceptor Entertainment, the game looks like an action-RPG isometric violently at will and frantic gameplay, all accompaganato by a graphics more than valid and powerful music. For real hard!

#6 - ADR1FT

For those who enjoyed the film Gravity, ADR1FT is a dream game. The game follows the adventures of a first-person view with astronaut lost in the wreckage of a space station. The protagonist has no recollection of the accident that took her to such a situation, and will fluctuate around the wreckage to search for clues, as well as a way to get home. A title like few you see, featuring stunning graphics and a special atmosphere thanks to the Unreal Engine 4. Needless to say, expectations are considerable.

#5 - Superhot

With a graphic style very reminiscent of a minimalist Mirror's Edge, this title offers nothing short of innovative gameplay, combining first-person shooter and strategy. Well, time moves only when the player himself executes moves, then the battles must be answered with tactics rather than brute force, having the ability to reason about every little step in order to dodge attacks and make their most effective possible. A fascinating concept.

# 4-"Ghost of a Such

Lionel Gallatt, an animator who worked on nothing less than for DreamWorks and Universal is developing almost entirely alone a title nothing short of spectacular and fascinating, with stunning animations and a magical atmosphere. The player is called upon to control a mouse almost helpless in a world full of ruthless monsters to avoid, tricky puzzles to solve and deadly traps to Dodge, in a legendary adventure that sometimes evokes the feelings of games such as Dark Souls and Dragon's Dogma. A little known but that title seems quite unique.

# 3-Below

Will be good? From its introduction in 2013, this title still very little is known. We know he has an absolutely fascinating look randomly generated environments, serving in an experience where a tiny Warrior must survive in an unpredictable world. It's a roguelike, is a survival game, is a game of exploration ... is Below . Fascinating and mysterious, the hype rises and we hope the 2016 will really be the year good for its release.

# 2-Rocket League

Certainly couldn't miss on one of the largest console multiplayer phenomena of recent years! Rocket League combines acrobatic machines equipped with turbo with a frantic football game and extremely competitive, multiplayer experience hectic, but at the same time spectacular and tactics. Between stunts, crazy shots and parades to the limit, teams will have to do everything to win. Simple and ingenious, Rocket League can not miss on competitive multiplayer enthusiasts. Thank goodness February is not so far!

# 1-Cuphead

As Below, even Cuphead is awaited for years but never passes event where this "play" impressive haul of awards does all kinds. A platform game hectic and difficult, playable in two, where with a graphic style that faithfully reproduces cartoon animations of 30 players must shoot down a number of extremely varied and creative boss after a bet with the devil gone bad. Gaming platform and shoot 'em up with gameplay precissimo, all mixed with a graphic style cured maniacally. Cuphead has the potential to be one of the exclusive major Microsoft.

These are just 10 of the most intriguing, most innovative and waited for the new year, but there are tons of more to come, with many of them that are yet to be announced. We also avoided mentioning titles which, although seemingly indie, not because funded by big publishers, such as the splendid Unravel of EA. Do you agree with the list? Do you consider that there are other titles that do not go get miss it for the world? Please let us know in the comments!
