I just tried Perfect Dark last night on Xbox one X and it looks and plays incredibly well. Unfortunately aiming controls are insane now thanks to the fast framerate though. You do get used to it all the same. You seem to have missed the Splintercell games in this list though. Chaos Theory looks better than ever too.
