      Not going to lie, it feels like games have just gotten significantly worse, and less frequent, since then. I don’t think we’ve seen 2004’s quantity of good games since 2004. The best games since then, in my opinion, would be:

      • The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
      • Sid Meier’s Civilization V
      • The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (RIP Elder Scrolls thanks to the Xbox acquisition of Bethesda, btw. Shoutout to a fucking useless FTC.)
      • Grand Theft Auto V (honestly, was this really any better than its predecessors?)
      • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
      • Final Fantasy XIV
      • Ghost of Tsushima
      • Elden Ring
      • The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

      So…yeah 2004 had in one year more high quality games than have released since then.
