Last year had - Ace Combat 7 - Apex Legends - Travis Strikes Again - Slay the Spire - Resident Evil 2 - Kingdom Hearts 3 - Tetris 99 - Crackdown 3 - Far Cry New Dawn - Metro Exodus - Jump Force - Anthem
Before March even hit.
I'm not talking just games wise I'm talking news as well. News wise you had Bungie going independent and massive Epic Store controversies. Pretty sure there was a Nintendo Direct too.
I know not all of those games were good but stuff like Anthem's disaster launch was big news. This year has barely anything in comparison. Not even new stuff to play but new stuff to talk about.
Pretty sure early 2017 and 2018 were even bigger.
all those games were duds except re2 and spire lol
