This gen has been fantastic. The only one that remotely competes is PS1 era, and that's a combination of the JRPGs and it being my childhood.
This gen has so much stuff. True, it doesn't have a TES or a GTA. FFS, imagine if it did? It'd be the most one-sided ass kicking, it wouldn't even be close. Outside of 2014 (which I loved actually), every year's had multiple amazing, GotG-quality games.
2015: How many of you would say Bloodborne? The Witcher?
2016: Uncharted 4, anyone? Overwatch?
2017: Horizon? Super Mario Odyssey? Breath of the Wild? Divinity: Original Sin II?
2018: Red Dead? Spider-Man? God of War? Smash Bros?
2019: RE2, The Outer Worlds, etc.
Every year has been fuckin' stacked. There's been a major fighting game every year for the past four years. There's cRPGs. J-RPGs made a come back to consoles. Nintendo firing on all cylinders with the Switch. Indie games getting the love they need.
It's not a perfect gen, but what is?
