    I don’t know what games people are buying but I’m having a blast. This is more referring to the average top budget game or most marketed game than anything else

    Here are some great games I played recently:

    • Subnautica
    • Horizon
    • Obra Dinn
    • Enter the Gungeon
    • Oxygen not included
    • Slay the spire
    • Cuphead
    • Papers please

      I really don’t understand all these articles either, I’ve been playing a lot of recent games and IMO this is one of the best years for gaming in nearly a decade. Tekken 8, Helldivers, animal well, and lethal company are all very recent games I’ve had a blast with this year. Maybe it feels bad because of consolidation under Sony and Microsoft, but I feel like nearly all the buyouts I’ve seen have been studios that were on life support creatively, if not monetarily. ActiBliz hadn’t released anything other than trendchasing crap and COD installments since overwatch, which went to shit long before OW2. The last good game Bethesda publiahed was prey and you’ve gotta go even further back for a good first party title.
