Top games this gen have been good, but I'd say on average this gen isn't very strong. It's much a continuation of the 7th gen, and that's boring. The Golden Age to me was from about 1995 to 2003, maybe a bit earlier. And even though I was young in the '90s and many of my favorites across platforms are from this gen, it doesn't have that much to do with nostalgia; there were just so many games trying new things, much more uniqueness and plenty that went on to have a huge impact on gameplay mechanics.
