You're wrong, enabler. There is literally NOT something for everyone, not even close.
FPS or TPS? Get out. Or are you one of those that think The New Order and Doom 2016 are a return to form?
Looking Glass tier underworld-likes? Well there's all the modern imitators, but they're not even close to Looking Glass quality.
RPGs? No, no and no.
Action or action-adventure games? I've been slightly more satisfied with action games of late, but they're still compromised, and the majority are still brainless popamole. Not actually fun like they used to be over a decade ago.
Platformers? Pfft, unless we're talking indie 2D platformers, which is just one form of platformer.
Hack and slash? I looked. All I saw was Dad of War.
Racing games, especially ones I enjoy(arcade style). lol no. Even the "every game must have an overpowered regenerating slo-mo mechanic!" design trend infests these games, as does microtransactions.
Open world mayhem types? No again. Not that I am aware of. Unless you think Just Cause 3 and GTAV are good games. I guess Dying Light goes here, which I like, but it's still compromised.
Survival horror? Give me examples.
Stealth? Stealth genre ded. It only lives on in the form of hybrids.
Name drop the incline.
i'll be honest, as of this year I've stopped paying as much attention to modern games, and stopped giving them chances with my time and money. This is because I got absolutely fed up with the constant disappointment, and just seek out old classics I missed that actually deserve my time. So, show me how things have changed and how there are now good singeplayer pureblood shooters, as one genre example, on the market.
Anyway, when rightfully trashing modern games, I am almost always careful to state that there are exceptions (e.g Dark Souls, New Vegas...).
