It’s a really weird, happy and sad state of affairs.
You had Elden Ring, bunch of great indie games in 2022.
Then in 2023. Capcom hits it out of the park with SF6 and Remake4. Tears of the Kingdom came out. Then Baldur’s Gate 3, a sequel 20+ years later. Metroid Prime remastered. Dead Space remake. Diablo 4
This was following Forsaken, Redfall, Gollum. Then you have Atlas Fallen recently with bad reviews
I’m having fun, but it seems indie Devs are having more success with original IPs and smaller scopes
Well, a solution could be, to dont buy AAA-Games. Or only games that are worth it. No hype train purchases month before release, no blind trust in big names of games or publishers or studios.
At least demos are a thing again.
Ps: don’t buy battlepasses or skins in f2p would also help I guess.
