We are just now getting out of the bullshit days of 40 game launchers. The Big Industry morons like Ubi, Ea and Bliz are crumbling. Indie devs are being celebrated and releasing titles now more than ever before. We are in a ‘quiet’ time of gaming. i believe. not a dark time. If the mainstream industry can get back to more honest and longevity based projects then we will in the next 5-10 years see another golden age (think 2007 or 2017 release titles) and of course year over year everyone can point to one or two games worth playing for the whole year or two till the next one.
Remember, Skyrim was released closer to the first year you listed than the second one and the sequel is still quite a ways out. There are entire release day players of Elder Scrolls 6 who were not yet born when 5 came out.

2023 is one of the best years in the history of gaming. So, so many many great titles, large and small, have been released this year.
I don’t keep up as much as I used to, what are great small games that have released this year?
Sea of Stars is spectacular so far.
Halls of Torment is pretty good
BG3, Larian wasn’t exactly a powerhouse of gaming prior to it
So there’s this guy named notch who’s making a funky indie title in Java…
I kid but my wife and I have banked so many hours playing Minecraft together in the last 2 weeks
I hope ubisoft go bankrupt. Everything is pile of hot scamming garbage.

What’s your point? They released Fallout 4, Skyrim Special Edition, VR editions of both, Fallout 76 and Starfield since then
The worst out of the list being FO76
