My metric for how bad this year has been: I have yet to watch any easy allies reactions.I've watched all the shows with Easy Allies first time so far, it's beenbeen the only reason I've enjoyed it outside od the Elden Ring trailer and Devolver so far.
Elden Ring looked great but wasn't shocking (my fault maybe for watching the leak).
The indie shows had great games but I mostly just want to play them.
Rabbids Mario looks cool but with Nintendo posting it early it just felt safe. Biggest change was removing the grid yet they didn't go into details.
I'll probably watch them react to Avatar.
I think the pandemic really cleaned this year out. Every game will either be near release just waiting to show off or a cgi trailer. Nintendo hopefully has a lot of the former and Xbox is happy with a lot of the later.
