Nope it's just the 2014 situation all over again. Everyones output is average (yeah even for Sony whose only good real exclusive was Horizon the rest were 3rd party games). Meanwhile Nintendo is releasing masterpiece after masterpiece. 2018 is going to blow it out of the water: Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War, Kingdom Hearts III, Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, Spiderman, Metro: Exodus, Days Gone, Monster Hunter Sorld possibly: Halo 6, Bloodborne II, Resident Evil 2 Remake, Borderlands 3, Starfield (Bethesda new IP). 20 years after 1998 we finally have a year to match it

Only good real exclusive?

Horizon 89
Nioh 88
MLB 17 85
Persona 5 93
Lost Legacy 85
Gravity Rush 2 80
Heck even Knack 2 got 70.

Not even including Crash. 

 

Why are we counting games with a meta score under 90? When comparing great years we're really only comparing great games and 80-89 is pretty mediocre and not relevant. The best way to compare years is as follows:

 

Add up the metacritic score of every game that scored over 90 in a given year. Compare the totals and you'll have the best year in gaming.
