"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 their 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.
