While there are a ton of articles like this, most of which are low-effort, click-bait garbage, this at least makes a more compelling case by limitting it to RPGs. Maybe I'm just uninformed since I don't generally like RPGs, but it seems like there have been a lot more quality RPGs released this year (esspecially in the "double A" budget class), and the two triple A releases both actually felt like a notable step forward (BG3 in design and content, Starfield in tech).
Starfield did nothing to advance tech
It begs the question, did anyone at Bethesda see No Man's Sky?
