Mirror's Edge and It Takes Two are genuinely amazing
It takes two looked great, but there are just so many games out there I still feel ok having missed it.
Mirrors edge was 2008.
I mean CS:GO was 2012, and it only "died" a few months ago. Hell, Mario 64 was 1996, and it still has a huge following. Genuinely good games remain timeless
Edit: forgot about the part where you mentioned "since 2013," so ignore my point
CS:GO is a valve title not EA. I was specifically referring to EA.That aside..
CS:GO was only a repackaging of CS expansion which itself was a repackaging of CS half-life mod from 1998.
Sure 14 years later the graphics engine was a little updated and there were new maps, but I played a lot of the original and after installing CS:GO I was supremely underwhelmed by the lack of change.
It Takes Two too often borrowed from that "well that just happened!" school of comedy that I just couldn't stand. Not all the time mind you, but enough to bother me.
