I feel like 15 years ago there was a lot more variety, more innovation, and games were a lot more focused and well paced, without needles content just for the sake of it
Looking back at 2010, i got GoW 3, Bayonetta, Red Dead Redemption, Darksiders, Heavy Rain, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Enslaved, Dante's Inferno, Castlevania LoS, Limbo, etc
Now everything has to be bigger and bigger, or a live service, or a huge and forgettable open-world, or another souls-like
Games like those back in that era (and the PS2 for that matter) are fewer and far between, and that's honestly sad.
I agree 100%. Games back then actually felt like games.
Now, despite having significantly better tech and power with current consoles, games are just marketing vehicles for endless monetization and bloated trash. We're lucky if we get an actual polished and finished game upon release.
