The 2015 Essen list I saved is the only one I actually use now

I dug through my old BGG saves from Essen 2015 last night and realized I've played 9 of the top 10 games from that list more than anything newer I've picked up since. My group swears by the 2015 lineup like it's a law, but every convention haul since feels like we're forcing it. We spent $80 on three hyped releases last spring and none made it back to the table after 2 plays. Am I the only one who thinks the hobby peaked with that year's catalog, or do you have an older list that still beats every new release?

Heard a podcast say 2015 was the last great year for board games.
