Skyrim came out 14 years ago.

    The title of this post was, "What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?"

    14 years is hardly 'recent'

    Depends entirely on how you interpret the question. It could be read as "What's a recent game you've tried..." (as in, a recently released game that you tried), as you've done, or "What's a recent game you've tried..." (as in, a game you've tried recently) as the person you're responding to did.

    I think either interpretation is fine since the title doesn't actually clarify either way.

    can it correctly be interpreted both ways grammatically though? I think only the former is actually correct.

    idk. not my area. but I think they have a point, recent can only refer to the game itself, not when you played it

    I started gaming in the 80's my first game was doom on a 286. Skyrim release date was recent for me and I only recently played skyrim for the first time.

    The question is "What's a recent game you've tried playing..?"

    Not 'What's a recently released game you've tried playing..?'
