Don't wanna search up every game for every year so I'll just take a shortcut and say any year that doesn't have a Resident Evil, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, GTA, Ratchet and Clank could be one of the worse years of gaming. Although Stellar Blade, Space Marine 2, and Rebirth were great so 2024 doesn't count. Half Life 1/2, Starcraft 1.2, Witcher 3, FFIV to FFX, Warcraft 3, Dishonored 1/2, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess were also good games. Worse year would be any year that doesn't include the games I mentioned.
