I think you’re painting with an overly large brush, but I agree with the broad strokes. A lot of big “AAA” publishers that were firing on all cylinders in the 6th and 7th gens — Ubisoft, Activision, EA, Bethesda, 2K, etc. — are mostly skippable now. Microsoft- and Sony-published games are less essential today than they were a generation ago, with prominent exceptions like Astro Bot. Rockstar Games remains a big deal, but it turns out software so infrequently.
When it comes to “AAA” games, I primarily trust Nintendo and Capcom to deliver the goods, in terms of both quality and quantity. Outside of those giants, I mostly look to indie studios and Japanese “AA” games for greatness in the modern era.
