Which video games from the last 5 years do you expect to age poorly? (hexbear.net)

Some games from the past play a lot worse in hindsight than others. What recent, decently-liked video games do you expect to suffer this curse?

I think time has been pretty kind to Skyrim, the main problem was the insistence on re-releasing it a dozen times for no reason.

I guess I mean more in the critical view of the vanilla game (main story quest is insipid and nonsensical, mage progression is very badly balanced and unfun, leveling as a whole is a crapshoot, draugr deathlords and other boss enemies are unfun damage sponges, dragons are easily distracted idiots, world is comprised of 80% bandit population, etc).

Honestly if Skyrim modding wasn't so mature and (relatively) approachable, the criticisms would be harsher, but considering that these days you can download preassembled modpacks that turn the game into 4KHD SEKIRO COMBAT ENB GLOBAL ILLUMINATION PARALLAX NEXT GEN REALISM HDT JIGGLE PHYSICS AND HARDCORE SURVIVAL that probably makes the average player pretty unconcerned with what the vanilla game is like.

call me basic but I genuinely really enjoy modded oblivion and skyrim

I come back to the Skyrim modding scene every six months or so. There is so much high quality OC for that game that I don't think I'll ever be done playing it (especially because I play the really trashy OC lmao).

Yeah as much as Skyrim is a weak point in the Elder Scrolls saga, I still look back on it fondly. Starfield will not have this legacy.
