Name a good game by a Microsoft studio from the last 5 years that isn't by Obsidian or someone who used to work at Obsidian
Ori and the Will of the Wisps(Great)
Sunset Overdrive(Good)
Battletoads(Good, at least I enjoyed it)
Forza Horizon 4 and 5(both are good, but definitely feeling a little repetitive and overly done now for me)
Flight Simulator
That is all I got though. and technically Forza Horizon 4 is 5 years and 12 days.
Released in 2014, so while good, doesn't quite fit the "from the last 5 years" criteria (unless you're specifically talking about the PC port, which just squeaks in by a month, but I'm not sure that's quite in the spirit of the discussion).
I didnt actually realise the PC version was a year later(it was the PC release date I was looking at). Well... shit.
Isn't Ori only published by MS? Moon Studios is a private studio, IIRC.
Although Moon Studios are not owned by Microsoft, the Ori IP is.
Point of Forza, driving cars around in circles will get repetitive after some point tho. I played Horizon 4 much more than 5 because 4 has a ranked system. I'm definitely going to play more Horizon 5 if they have a ranked system.
Psychonauts 2.
