There are still plenty of new game announcements to come, but so far, one genre is dominating early 2026, and I'm excited to see it.

It's wild reading opinions about nothing other than AAA games. Sims 4 of all things takes up three paragraphs. It's like there's only five games in their world.

Did we read the same article? Sims 4 got one paragraph, and overall at most half of the article is about games from big studios.
