I doubt it since shit's been bad for years. COD Mobile is the most painful example of which personally, which went to shit after like 2022.
No idea about shooters, i hate them, my point was that it's the best year for people who don't like shooters. Unlike for example 2018/19 which was the worst year for games literally ever, where nearly every studio moved to the multiplayer action games, to the point journos started using "single player game" as a fucking genre itself that much crisis it was in (and the most of those were also action games).
It's a big deal since I'm into shooters. Also, wtf is wrong with game journalists these days?
Polish game journalist up to around 2003-5 were pretty good. Later they caught exact same bug as every journos living from reviews of proprietary products - "sponsoring" (plus i suspect some specifically journalist things too which i dont know about).
