Oh but hey, Dark Souls and Demon Souls were pretty good, if only to indicate their might be a light at the end of the tunnel.

7th gen was a plague the industry is literally still recovering from. I genuinely think for as bleak as they are that the 8th and 9th have had more good games than the 7th by a truckload. 7th Gen couldn't DREAM of something like Baldurs Gate 3 or Astrobot actually being made by a big studio, let alone it getting GOTY.
