It’s weird to make “5 years later” test, and out of 21 games tested most are older than a year
two 5 years old games (Assetto Corsa Competizione, Shadow of the Tomb Raider)
3 years old port of 7 years old port (Horizon Zero Dawn)
two 3 years old game (Watch Dogs: Legion, Hitman 3)
three 2 years old games (Far Cry 6, Total War: Warhammer 3, Halo Infinite)
1 year old remaster of 5 years old game (Spider-man Remastered)
three 1 year old games (Plague Requiem, COD Modern Warfare 2, Callisto Protocol)
Few of the titles that are from this year are kinda questionable choices:
game that comes out every year (F1 23)
game that started as expansion for 3-years old game (and it’s heavily based on original game tech) (AC Mirage)
this year expansion for 3 years old game with expansion (Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty)
I think it would be much more interesting video, if “5 years later” video was about checking how those CPU perform in today’s games, not how well they perform in games released in last 5 years.
It’s practical to use their existing test suite. It allows for comparison against other parts they have previously tested. Plus plenty of people are still playing games from the past 5 years.
The purpose is to see how the processors aged over the five years since their release. Testing games that span those five years, including titles released this year (which you neglected to list, given your obvious contrarian agenda), is the obvious way to do that.

Keep complaining sir. Good job
