With the launch of Call of Duty Season 4, Activision quietly put adverts inside loadouts for Black Ops 6 and Warzone, sparking a backlash in the process.

I've been really enjoying The Finals for a while now. It's fantastic and actually innovative.

ARC Raiders is coming out very soon if you want a really good extraction shooter. There's also Gray Zone, Escape from Tarkov, Hunt: Showdown, and many others in this genre, all with different twists.

ArmA Reforger I just started playing recently (I own all the other ArmA games but I was waiting on this, since it's still a work in progress, as are all modern games now though it seems). It's a platform, like all ArmA games, where you can play anything from the default Conflict game mode, where two teams fight over a map in a war that can last multiple days sometimes, or a new version of a DayZ style, or ArmA Life (basically GTA Roleplay, but it's existed in ArmA much longer), or so much else.

There's a ton of games out there. You've listed several genres, but all of them with massive budgets. The best games, in my opinion, aren't these. It's the smaller/indie games that are willing to try something new, but you have to look for them. There's been a bunch of civ-likes recently, there's tons of BRs and Extraction shooter style games (Zero Sievert is a cool solo extraction shooter, for example).

Don't just stick to the shiny games with big marketing budgets. Go find some gems in the rough and you'll be greatly rewarded.
