Too many people get attached to specific IPs, even when that IP is clearly no longer worthwhile. The smart move would be to pick a genre you like, and then try to find good things in that genre. Specific IP can turn to shit, but it's a lot harder to corrupt an entire genre of works.

The problem is when your genre isn't "platformer", "puzzle", or "FPS", pickings are slim and far between.

Tactics games you're more or less fucked-in with Fire Emblem, because there's not many indie titles and AAA games just do not do that sort of thing anymore.

Tactics games

XCOM

Desperadoes III which released last year

Gears Tactics

Phantom Brigade

Kings Bounty II

A bunch of other titles I'm missing

I'm not going to count Creative Assembly titles as their recent output sucks but they count

The fuck you just say?

XCOM went super woke? What's with that? I have XCOM2 and it seemed fine.

That's true. I just kinda got lucky with RPGs, but other more niche genres are kind of fucked. I'd have to suggest finding something else if there are no other options than supporting shitty companies and products.

An unfortunate side effect of gaming going mainstream is all the biggest companies started chasing the lowest common denominator.

I did branch out from turn-based-tactics... At least my love of Light Gun and Rail Shooter games is being satisfied by the Gal Gun franchise for now.

For those genres you're pretty much forced to go back in time. Though if you've already played them all before you're kinda fucked.
