Can't speak to all games, but I have found that the Mortal Kombat/Tekken style fighting games really aren't that much fun to me anymore. Smashing buttons is fun for like maybe ten minutes, but it gets boring real quick.
On the other hand Street Fighter VI is the perfect example how to reinvent the genre. The new campaign mode is really good and makes the game 100x better than any other previous title. Honestly japanese studios has an insane year in 2023 (Zelda, RE4 Remake, FFXVI, Armored Core VI, Street Fighter VI etc.)

Zelda TotK seems to be pretty disappointing from what I read. After BOTW I finally gave up playing every Zelda game.
Nintendo is the best when it comes to video game marketing, they basically brainwashed us since we were toddlers and they have a tight grip over mainstream reviews.
I don't know if TotK is good, but we won't be getting too much honest feedback until the hype dies down. Remember when people said BOTW was the greatest game of all time? That aged poorly.
Anyway, I am quite skeptical of people who put modern Zelda in their 'great' games list. They havent been a powerhouse since N64.
