Every 6 years the video game industry has a notably good year.
2023 has been really good so far.
Go back 6 years we get 2017 which had BotW, RE7, Nier Automata, Cuphead, Mario Odyssey
2011 had Portal 2, the full release of Minecraft, Skyrim, Dark Souls, Arkham City
2005 had Shadow of the Colossus, RE4, Mario Kart DS, Psychonauts
1999… okay that had some pretty good games but I would be lying to you if I said considering it one of the best years in gaming is anything less than a stretch, but I do think it’s fair to say 2005, 2011, 2017 and 2023 are notably good years for video games.
