Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Depends on the genre. Not every genre gets a boatload of new good games every year.
We only got like 2 action games last year and one of them was not so warmly received (Lost Soul Aside) and a handful of indies in early access.
By action, I mean Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden… etc. not the broad, useless Game Awards definition.
Not many new good shmups or fighting games either.
