You know what, gaming today's really not that bad

Yeah, I kinda agree. I mean there releasing more than 10K games each year, there should be something catered to your needs. You just need to find it.

15 years back I complained about a lack of complex turn-based party RPGs in isometric view. But nowadays I get served with these. Same with other genres. You can find good games everywhere.

The only problem is if you are too focused on the AAA industry. Then things look quite terrible. And it can be fun to criticize the bloated trash industry. But if I have enough of that I go to Balatro, Vampire Crawlers and so on to relax and enjoy gaming. And with games like Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3 and Clair Obscur I also have no shortage of epic big games that are satisfying. Currently I very much enjoy Pokopia and also dabble in Tomodachi Life. All very enjoyable.

I also for many years now give me license to stop playing a game if it stops being fun. That's why I can enjoy the few Assassins Creeds I tried - because I play for 20-30 hours, then stop with maybe 25% of the game done, but so far it was enjoyable but it starts to get repetitive and now is time to stop.
