What good games did come out this year, that’s
• not stated in my comment
• not a remake/remaster
The games today are not mostly shit. There’s so much great stuff that comes out every year that it’s difficult to keep up with it all. It’s just not usually the stuff that gets the most marketing. As a bonus, the best games of the year rarely ask for that $70 price point. What are you looking for?

As a person who doesn’t care about graphics: New games are mostly shit. I’m allowed to do less (need animation for each action you know?), I’m allowed to have fewer monsters on the screen (polygon count you know?) takes 35+ GB and it makes my laptop fans go wrooom?

New games are not exclusively pushing high end graphics. In fact, they’re dwarfed by those that are not. My favorite game from last year was The Rise of the Golden Idol. It’s mostly still images and takes up less than 3 GB. Balatro was a game of the year nominee from last year, and it’s only a handful of MBs. Blue Prince is hardly a looker, but it will likely be on a lot of game of the year lists this year. There’s so much out there.

Back then we had 10x games coming out, 1x games were good. Now we have 10000x games coming out but still 1x of the games are good. (Absolutately more good games, relatively almost nothing)
Numbers are generated assisted-out of my ass. (Think fermi approximation.)
