When will people learn? Seriously. They keep touching fire and act equally surprised every time they get burned.

No Man’s Sky. (Great now but holy hell was it a shit show)

Cyberpunk

Diablo IV

Far Cry 6

StarField

And now this latest Assasins Creed: Mirage.

Probably forgetting plenty of recent releases too that just faded into nothingness.

Personally, I’ll be starting Batman Arkham Asylum this weekend. Heard it was pretty good. Should keep me busy for a while.

    I pretty much only watch Mortismal Gaming at the moment, who 100%'s every game before reviewing it, but I think with a strategy like that you’re highly biased into playing games you’re already going to enjoy, so it’s not great at finding which games are bad. I believe he has also quit games in the past if he was not enjoying them, and then didn’t review them as a result.

    I think there are also other reasons that reviews trend positive - it’s probably better for ad revenue/engagement to prey on people’s hopes that a game is good, and people like for their purchases/prepurchases to be validated. Not as many people will stick around through a 30 minute review of nonstop negativity.
