okay here's mine based solely on unscientific gut reaction as I went through each list...

Here's about a hundred that I at least somewhat enjoyed at one point or another on numerous platforms. The first fifty or so were easy and it kinda went downhill from there. I could probably sit here all day and move titles up and down the list but I'm sticking with this one for now.

Looking at those lists of existing games makes me realize that I need to try out more games like Tomb Raider, Borderlands, Witcher, Sunset Overdrive, ReCore, Quantum Break, etc.
"Farewell, good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world."
So we're comparing and ranking stuff as far apart as like Crimson Skies and Fuzion Frenzy against stuff like Player Unknown Battlegrounds and Monster Hunter World?
Like, basically, rank order everything that came out and can still be played on a MS system in the last 16 years? That's quite the undertaking! There are like 500 backwards compatible games 1500 XboxOne games. What if the best version of the game could be found on another platform (such as PC)?
I don't play a lot of MS compared to Sony and PC games, so there's a really weird selection of titles in my gaming history for Xbox systems. That said, here's what I've played through on the platform since I started keeping track in 2007. I don't know if they are all playable on Xbox One, sorry.
007: Blood Stone 360 Assassin's Creed - 360 Bulletstorm - 360 Call of Duty: Black Ops II - 360 Dead or Alive 3 - Xbox Dead Rising 3 - X1 Deathsmiles - 360 Devil May Cry (2013) - 360 Dodonpachi Resurrection - 360 Driver: San Francisco 360 Dungeon Siege III - - 360 Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon - 360 Espgaluda II: Black Label (BL mode) - 360 Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon - 360 Forza Horizon 2: Storm Island - - Xbox One Forza Horizon 3: Blizzard Mountain - PC/X1 Forza Horizon 3: Hot Wheels - PC/X1 Gears of War 2 - 360 Gears of War 3 - 360 Gears of War 4 - Xbox One Gears of War: Judgment - 360 Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams - X1 Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee - XBOX Halo 4 - 360 Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary -360 Halo: ODST - 360 Halo: Reach - 360 Limbo - 360 Mass Effect - 360 Mass Effect 2 - 360 Mass Effect 2: Kasumi - Stolen Memory - 360 Mass Effect 2: Shadow Broker - 360 Mass Effect 3 - 360 Mass Effect 3: From Ashes - 360 Metro: Last Light - 360 Muchi Muchi Pork - 360 Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 - 360 Otomedius Excellent - 360 Pink Sweets - 360 R-Type (R-Type Dimensions) - 360 Shadows of the Damned - 360 Sonic Fighters - 360 Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - 360 The Elder Scrolls IV: Skyrim - 360/PC Tomb Raider (2013) - X1
A top 10 from that list would probably be:
1. DoDonPachi Resurrection 2. Forza Horizon 3 3. Halo Reach 4. Mass Effect 2 5. Gears of War 2 6. Skyrim 7. Pink Sweets 8. Metro: Last Light 9. Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams 10. Deathsmiles
EDIT: Not sure if this is useful/helpful or not! I feel like I can't really weigh in on this list using the "what if no other systems exist" question that you are asking since it is asking that I rank order 100 games out of probably 1000 or more that I would have played that are available on the platform and elsewhere.
I don't get why that's difficult... you know you like Borderlands 2 as a game right? So whether it's on Xbox or PC or PS3 or whatever, you like that game. I'm not asking which multiplatform games are best on Xbox or for exclusives only or anything. I'm asking for a list of your favorite games that are playable on Xbox One. My own list has games that were originally on Genesis or Saturn or Dreamcast; Elkin listed some 2600 games even. It's really just personal favorites - playable on this platform.
If you want me to just include the Top 10 your provided I can, though.

Nah, just ignore my list. Sorry, "Top 100 games of last 16 years" is a hard enough list to come up with for me, let alone checking platform specificity.
