I feel like the last few years at least have had like one worthy game per year, which for someone with a lot of work to do and now a family, is plenty. I’ve yet to finish Elden Ring and Baldur’s Gate III, and while I completed Cyberpunk, I never got around to the DLC.
I do certainly feel like between 2016 and 2021 or so, we barely got any good games. The biggest release of 2020 took a year or 2 to be decent and even then never lived up to its’ hype because what was promised was simply too much. 2021 the biggest release was Forza Horizon 5 which I loved, but a lot of gamers don’t really care for.
2016 we got Blood and Wine for Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 (which is a good game, just not a good Fallout game). Oh and we got Doom.
2017 wasn’t that great for AAA, except for Nintendo. But we still got great games like Breath of the wild, Prey, Nier Automata, Hellblade, Hollow Knight, Undertale to name a few.
2018 we got Red Dead Redemption 2, Monster Hunter World, God of War.
2019 we got Death Stranding, Divinity Original Sin 2, Sekiro, Resident Evil 2
2020 we got Final Fantasy 7 Remake, The last of us 2, Hades
2021 is kind of a dud because of covid.
So I’m terms of AAA only 2017 and 2021 can really be considered duds. But indies released some absolute bangers between 2016-2021. For example Disco Elysium, among us, outer wilds, Stardew valley, inscryption etc.

I’m also cautiously optimistic for 2025, it honestly seems to be a great year if not too many games get delayed or turn out to be shit
