Overall I am satisfied with the state of gaming for the last 8-10 years or so.
The most happy I am with the quality and creativity of indie games. We have so many great indie games at a fair price and most of the good indies are a lot better than many 3rd Party AAA games that are being rushed out.
The second thing that is amazing is the connectivity and accessibility. It is so easy to play multiplayer or coop games nowadays on any platform.
PC gaming has never looked better. Basically everything is on PC now besides the most prestigious Nintendo exclusives and a few PS ones. The options, customizability and quality/performance of PC ports is great. Sure there are still a few bad ones out there, but many PC ports have looked absolutely fantastic whether it is Death Stranding, God of War, Forza, Halo, Days Gone, Red Dead Redemption 2 and many more. And next PC is getting TLOU Remake. They even announced it at the same time as the PS5 version. Absolutely wonderful time to be a PC gamer.
The absolute gigachad masterpiece games are back on the menu. Whether it is BOTW, TLOU2, God of War or Elden Ring. Those are legit 10/10 games in the AAA landscape that we probably couldn't have dreamt of 15 years ago.
Modern day CAPCOM is revitalized. Devil May Cry 5, Monster Hunter World, Rise, RE2,3,4 Remake, RE7,8 and much more. They are currently delivering. Love to see it.
Gaming Hardware is very powerful and we have never had more variety and customizability.
Well the negatives have been mentioned a lot here. Basically if you sum the negatives up it is : capitalism and greed. Many great studios/publishers have fallen from grace in the pursuit of generating short term money.
Sure there are a lot of things I'd like to change in the gaming industry, but overall I am pretty happy with where we are. Always room for improvement though.
