Bloodborne+DLC and Uncharted series. Persona 5 if you like JRPG. Until Dawn, Heavy Rain, and/or Detroit: Become Human if you are interested in that genre. Spider-Man is excellent as well (just don't buy the version that includes future DLC).

I keep mine wired even though I have a Pro (supports 5Ghz) and an AC1900 router with strong signal, because it still downloads shit much faster when I plug in the cable. If you don't have a Pro or are using the wifi built into a cable modem, I would definitely suggest getting it wired. PSN used to be garbage only ever able to download at 1/10th the speed of my actual internet service, but lately it is much closer to what I get on my PC from Steam/USENET/etc. I almost never play online MP games, so I can't speak to whether or not wired vs. wifi makes a difference in latency or whatever.
I also use Remote Play quite a bit on both PC and Vita, and wifi is absolutely out of the question for that purpose.

Another World is pretty interesting as it is what I call an orphan game. There are some great ideas in it, but somehow these ideas were almost never reused in other games, even in supposed heirs like Heart of Darkness or Flashback (I guess a game without heir should be called sterile rather than orphan, but well...). The controls are pretty rough though.

So I've been working on a project with Microsoft to provide a financing option through Dell Preferred Account on Microsoft.com when purchasing an XBOX ONE. This promotion is already available in the physical Microsoft stores. The online portion is being released soon. It's a 24 month, equal pay promotion ($500/24=~$21/month). With that said, I was planning on purchasing an XBOX ONE X when the online portion is deployed.
Question: What would be some of the must have games? Mind you, any game that is PlayAnywhere I'm going to play on my PC (unless it has local multiplayer), and anything that's not exclusive I'd rather play on my PS4 Pro.

Right now is says in-store only, but will be updated to show online also when that piece is up and running.

I think that rules out everything except for BC titles which is exactly why I didn't bother looking into that promo any further.

Personally I'd just dig into Game Pass and go from there. Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2, most of the Halos and soon Forza Horizon 4 all included for starters. Then EA Access if there are titles you might be interested there. The latter is not exclusive, but cheap access to games you might not have messed with otherwise. For example I like playing the my player mode in sports games, but I'd never spend the money on NHL, Live, UFC etc.
With Game Pass I've been playing so much random stuff - including a number of Play Anywhere titles. That's the bulk of my console gaming, the rest is PC, especially w/ Madden being back on PC.

Game Pass might be worth it, I guess. I'll likely pick up FIFA 19 eventually, since my buddy is dickhard for XBOX 1 as he's had a 360 for so long, and won't get a PS4 Pro, so we can play that online.

I don't have a confirmed answer to that, but testing showed promo response on regular bundle skus (game w/ console). Once live it might require a Game Pass sku in the cart. I haven't seen the final details, just the functionality.
