New games just don't have a 'punch' to it anymore. They are not not game breaking anymore.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with old games either. They are the same as they were, which is why reboots and remakes are so popular.
I want to agree but some games are really well done. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is a good example.
However
I feel like many people are so focused on graphics and looks, like raytracing for example, that gameplay/story has become less important? Sucks but it is what it is I guess..
A good story isn't something groundbreaking that marketing teams can slap on the box in the same way they can with ray tracing dlss or whatever else I guess
