The Medium
All of the games we've recommended so far are too based in the boring old real world. That's only half of the story in The Medium. This game allows you to exist in both the real world and the spirit world, and it shows those worlds off in stunning detail. The game supports ray tracing, and a 4K resolution on the latest Xbox consoles.
