"When was the last time a AAA game was truly fun to play?"
The comment in reply answer the question.
You then preceded to gatekeep by redefining what "AAA game" meant but dismissing the ones listed out of ignorance.
I can think of numerous AAA games that are fun to play. the first one that came to mind was Elden Ring. I know others that while I didn't play, others loved, such as God of War.
Rather than ask a question and start dismissing answers, gate keeping what "AAA game" means, instead accept the fact that there are numerous AAA games that have been released this year alone that people are having lots of fun with. That doesn't take away from smaller, indy titles, nor does it mean AAA is without fault.
tl;dr: Stop gatekeeping with ignorance.
