Costume Quest (XSX)
Xbox 360 version via backwards compatibility. I played Costume Quest a few years back and really enjoyed it as a quick JRPG turn based style of game, but done in a western way- so none of the annoying Japanese trends like bosses that run away 5 times whilst smack talking you. Now that I finally played the first game I can say it's pretty much the same. They are really nice quick games to wind down with after a really long or difficult game. Costume Quest is only about 6 hours long. You play a bunch of kids trick or treating on Halloween, where their costumes give them special powers. It actually plays very similar to South Park: The Stick of Truth, just without the profanity and adult themes. I think both Costume Quest games were actually free on the Epic store a while back, so many people probably have them.
