Which video games from the last 5 years do you expect to age poorly? (hexbear.net)

Some games from the past play a lot worse in hindsight than others. What recent, decently-liked video games do you expect to suffer this curse?

You are way off on Skyrim. For starters, it's already older than the entire range op asked about and it's still a good game. Op asked for a game that's come out in the last 5 years and will be looked at somewhat poorly in another 5 years.

Well skyrim came out....2011. Over 12 years ago. And at this very moment, after 12 years, it's ranked at 54th on steam for current player count.

Honestly, among g*mers I know, Oblivion and Morrowind seem to get more praise than Skyrim, but that could just be nostalgia and contrarianism.

Oh, my bad, I was trying to make the point that vanilla Skyrim has been regarded as less of a good game in retrospect rather than trying to say it fits what OP was asking for.

And yeah tons of people are still playing Skyrim. Vanilla Skyrim might not be a great game, but it's a fantastic platform for installing mods. I'm literally in the process of setting up a modpack for it right now.
