Is this a meme that I just don’t get?

Worth playing is subjective to each person. What you decide isn’t worth playing and I are two different things. It sounds like you just have incredibly high standards and that’s fine, but I’m sure you don’t really play games much then.

I don’t personally see one except maybe Hades 2 since 1 was so good. But I have a hard time believing Starfield, Hogwarts legacy, even FFXVI being a master piece. FF16 I hope is but not super confident.

BOTW2 will be touted like a masterpiece despite not really being one like the first one.
