    “a fantastic year for new games”? i couldn’t disagree more. i had no interest in any games that came out this year. i got balatro, and it’s kind of fun, but in a mildly addictive mobile game kind of way. not a “this is a really well made game” kind of way.

    to me this was a year of greedy disappointments and corporate bullshit in gaming. this article mentions score inflation being a thing they’re weary of, then unironically puts the latest destiny dlc above 90%. pcgamer is absolutely part of the corporate megastructure that is bad for games and for for profits.

    i mean, maybe if you’re a persona fan, but i just can’t get in to those games, i tried 3 of them.

      I think the indie scene is still where the best games are at. Currently enjoying Caves of Qud but it’s not for everyone.

        I always hear that, but then i struggle to find indie games that i like. the genres that i like are hard to do with a small budget.
