I’m trying to think of the most recent non-Nintendo game I’ve placed that was genuinely good.
I liked resident evil 2 and 3 remake. Cyberpunk was pretty good, but not great.
I mostly play emulated games as most new stuff has not been enjoyable or interesting.
I mean, I had a great time with Elden Ring, even if I never finished it. I'm currently enjoying my playthrough of BG3 and tempted to go for another playthrough just to see all the story paths I missed. I enjoyed my stints in Fortnite (particularly the base-building PvE) and Genshin Impact. Diablo 4 was fun to beat once, although I have no desire to play it seasonally. FF7-Remake was the best FF game I've played since 12.
I'll say that waiting until the games drop inside the $30 price point makes buying a game, not enjoying it, and shelving it significantly less painful. Nier Automata was fun-ish, but turned into a slog. I've got my eye on Armored Core 6, but I'm not in a rush.
Those points are fair. This year and I guess last year have been particularly good years for gaming.
I was not a fan of armored core 6. The experience felt pretty empty. It’s just a bunch of short missions. The battles were kind of boring. It’s just you and an opponent revolving around each other firing. That what’s every mission boils down to. I was expecting a lot more from it.
