I'm not impressed by either. I want AA games back.
What do you consider Obsidian? They put out two bangers this year. Does Split Fiction count? They're at least an order of magnitude under the budget of a marquis Sony game, let alone the likes of Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty. How about Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves? The Alters? Dispatch? Have you heard of a little game called Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? I hear people like that one. (I'm joking. I've played it, too. Budget estimates are still in the tens of millions of dollars.) I'm strongly of the opinion that AA is back right now.
You got anything action? I'm only aware of Lost Soul Aside.
Genokids and Spirit X Strike are indie in Early Access, and I'd be hesitant to qualify Ninja Gaiden 4 as AA.
I've probably come across a couple of other indies along the way, but AFAIK, that's the whole year.
I was psyched Fatal Fury is back until freaking Cristiano Ronaldo showed up 😂 I was never an SNK fan and I'm still knees deep into other fighting games anyway so that's alright.
I would call Avowed the best action game this year, yes. I think a lot of people were let down by the ways that it's light on RPG systems, expecting it to be a Bethesda style game, but I'd say that, while it's not 1:1, that game has a lot in common with FromSoft games but without the tense feeling of being against tough odds. If you haven't played it yet, you'll see what I mean. There's also Eternal Strands, which I haven't played just because there was so much else to play this year, but it's got some buzz and interesting design ideas behind it.
And mid-budget movies!
