Those mid 90's (especially 1995) years bum me out because every year had like 4 or 5 games that got the shaft because the years were so jam packed. The late 2000s to mid 2010s where either not giving me games I was super in to and I had to kind of just choose one, or 2 games where one had to get kicked to the curb because of how much Bethesda style open world games are my favorite kind. 2017 finally made it difficult again because of Mario Odyssey and Cuphead.
