no highs or lows, just a lot of mid to good. the best things tend to be remakes now. no new mechanics, just shuffling them around.
Eating more way than one in this era, than the PS2 era fasho. Yes, gaming in general seems to be in a meh setting, but the marsupial manages to find shyt beyond AAA, like AA and indie 
shyt takes me back to the days of looking for underground hip hop albums in the midst of trap snap and bling bling raps.
You not digging deep enough.

I’m mainly checking for AAA 3rd person action adventure games under 30 hrs(preferably 10-15 hrs), that’s why I’m on the lookout for Star Wars Outlaws; South of Midnight, Space Marines 3, and South of Midnight.

Honestly, Ps4 to know is the best era since the ps2 days, yeah we started getting incomplete games, the predatory tactics became worse etc, but the amount of fantastic single player games on every genre is huge.

Closest to scratch that Gears of War itch for this gen would be Space Marines 2.
If you want a Spiderman beat em up, try the Marvel lego games or Streets of Rage 4

I think the type of games you like will greatly influence how you view this
As someone who has always loved RPGs it seems like we’ve been eating heavy for damn near a decade

new fatal fury next year
A service game with 4-5 hour campaign AND its an xbox game
Gears would get shat all over today
Mortal Kombat came out last year. Same with Same-Man 2
Games like Grand Theft Auto V have warped what the large publishers want. They don't really want to waste capital on more modest successes anymore. They're chasing trends trying to create the next big thing and if that doesn't play out they have no qualms closing a studio Hence things are really narrowing down as to what they're putting out.
The indie studios are where the experimentation is tat.

experimentation didn't stop, yall just want everything to function on a mainstream level and that's not realistic, so many creative movies come out that you'll NEVER hear about casually, you gotta be following the socials of entities that post experimental/arthouse stuff and you'll get your fix, there's too much coming out to still depend on mainstream outlets to spoonfeed you shyt that's dope, they can't keep up with the internet
same with music
same with gaming
and given how much better algorithms work nowadays, after a week or so you'll start getting suggested that type of shyt and realize cool stuff never stopped being made
TLDR: stop waiting for hype to direct you to cool shyt and use the internet the way it was intended, find what you like, it's there
