I mean, we've got Minecraft and Stardew Valley and a zillion isometrics like Disco Elysium that are both fun and pretty. And its not like prior generations haven't pushed out a few turds. Pretty much every MMO was a shit-show before World of Warcraft, simply because the system requirements for an always-on massive multiplayer game - both from the client and server side - exceeded the tech capacity of the era.
indies have always been great, and triple A studios have always been cash-grabbing corner-cutters, but it feels like the tripe As have gotten even worse and are incapable of things that were considered basic decades ago. The turd has gotten simultaneously stinkier, yet more polished.

I'm having fun with Elden Ring.
There are plenty of good games of ever variety. But there's also a lot of overhyped shit
