Battlefield Hardline was a great game but a poor first for the franchise, which until that point had not strayed from the tried and true nation vs nation formula.
Despite its shaky start, Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War went on to become one of the most beloved titles in the history of the Call of Duty Franchise.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is, without a doubt, the best Call of Duty title released in the last 15 years.
Call of Duty Vanguard, despite its mixed reception, was the best shooter we received in 2021, offering a standard of quality and quantity that neither Battlefield 2042 or Halo Infinite were able to match.
At its core Re:Legend is an excellent monster farming simulator; however, a slew of performance issues, game-breaking bugs, and poor optimisation make it impossible to recommend
Foretales is an excellent game hampered by excessive RNG and over-reliance on time-wasting mechanics to inflate playtime.
Dark and Light was a great idea in 2006 and a decent idea in 2017; however, in 2022, there is just too much competition in the genre for it ever to be anything more than near-complete failure.
Spacelords is weirdly sexual to the point of being distracting, and I feel this aesthetic is largely responsible for its low player count and lack of wider community acceptance.
Games should not be developed purely to "fill a gap" until a better title comes along, and Outlaws of the Old West and its spectacular spiral into obscurity is ample proof of that.
