I am not sure about that. Sure, I was overexaggerating with the most important announcement of the year (I do really like Elden Ring for example), but I don't think the standards are better. If you talk about standards, you focus on technical standards. But games are an art form, so there are other standards to consider than purely technical ones.

Or said differently: a movie like Vertigo may not be on the same technical standard as most movies today, but it still beats them overall. In the same I could only name a few games from the past few years, that have the same charme and fun like The Secret of Monkey Island did.

So in what objective standard would this game be the biggest of the year, sales, review, technical achievement or your individual taste?

Obviously my personal taste, which was the tongue in cheek usage of the term biggest. It will not reach the sales of Elden Ring which are mind-boggling great and review scores are flimsy. Even if people reference Metacritic or OpenCritic, this is far from objective, as it has a preference for western reviewers. Technical achievement is something even less objective and should be ignored, because we don't want to play tech demos.

To be frank, there does not exist any *objective* standard.
