@Albert Johfur "for every decent of mediocre game there are ten bad ones." That's true... but it's also been the case for as long as games have existed. Atari, NES, etc. all had the same problem.
I'd hardly call this a golden age, considering the corporate/political gaming industry we're stuck with. New good games are few and for every decent or mediocre game there are ten bad ones.
Oh, really? Please name five good single player FPS games with "realistic 3D graphics" that came out in the past two/three years. I couldn't. Doom Eternal was good, and there were a few fun retro FPS games, but the rest were either disappointing (Borderlands 3) or terrible (Wolfenstein Youngblood)
Tbh, i still feel like there is not that many good RTS anymore. Either just shallow ones or inde ones that lack a budget and quality control on Early Access.
The age of Empire definitive Edtion were good tho.
I miss points and click games with cartoonish sarcastic characters too.
The reason it is not because it is repetitive (and it is) but because most of them are shovelware.
They are pixel-design not because it is a trend but because it is cheap, and they solve its cheap-ness with hard difficulty.
Can I get some more car combat games like Twisted Metal, please? Also, more realistic sword combat games like Bushido Blade would be nice. I know that Hellish Quart is in development, so that's two games. Sooo...you were saying?
I don't think Roguelites are over represented, but I think a lot of games try to jam in Roguelite elements to the detriment of the game's experience. as an example:
Sunless Sea, a heavily story leaning game with simple gameplay and a lot of grinding, when you die hours of work gets reset.
