Very positive initial gameplay impressions from me! Watch Dogs Legion looks gorgeous on the Series X with all these reflections and effects. Gears Tactics seems to be a very solid game. I also booted up Darksiders 3 again, a game I had started on Xbox One X. Over there on the old console, I had been pretty annoyed by the loading times which were about a minute. Move the game to the Series X SSD and you get 8 seconds (!) of load time. Amazing.
Also want to point out that the controller feels like a notable improvement. It's been underrated in the console reviews, IMO. The ergonomics are even further improved from the Elite Controller V2, the triggers feel even more precise, the D-Pad is nice. The reduced latency stands out the most, this in combination with so many titles now finally running on 60 fps on Xbox Series X truly gives a new feeling. To use Darksiders 3 again, I had never been quite comfortable with the dodging mechanics so far, often timing them wrongly. On Series X, I always felt in control of what was happening, and to me all these little improvements in addition to the new console's horsepower can really be transforming the experience.
Will post more impressions tomorrow. Still many patches to download for me over night.
