i'm always like 5 seconds away from never playing another new video game ever again. they're just getting more and more shitty. it's not even nostalgia talking because i can go back and play old games i've never played before and find them way more fun than the new slop that comes out. even if it is extremely refined slop, there's still something missing. even something like baldur's gate 3 which was by all accounts an amazing game did absolutely nothing to hook me beyond the 4 hours i played.
half life, FEAR, and portal are games i have played within the last couple of years i hadn't before. they are absolute gems that are still better than the vast majority of shit that's come out in the past decade.
According to who? Fags, sheep and gaming journalists? Even someone like Synthetic Man, who admitted to being a total sucker for BG3-type of games and defended BG3 despite the mountains of poz, also said that the game probably wasn't even a 8/10, let alone a 10/10. I don't think there's anything wrong with you for not getting hooked on that shit...
Most people who praise BG3 never get out of the first chapter, which is also frontloaded with content compared to every other chapter. Chapters 4-5 barely work.
Unfortunately a lot of devs have figured out that the gaming community has the attention span of a goldfish, and if your game starts off really well, nobody will care about it fading into just being okay as it goes on. BOTW is notable for starting off great, but gradually becoming less interesting, and that game still gets its dick sucked to an absurd degree. Too many games nowadays are bloated and frontloaded, while games that are somewhat smaller in scale but polished from beginning to end get overlooked.

The trend was to move away from thinking choices & reaction time, motor skills & strategy toward flashy graphics for stupid clumsy people
Battles take a long time because you have to wait through a flashy graphics sequence before your next move
People used to custom draw grapics where there was a specific 2 dimensional picture for each frame with each angle within a small number of viewing angles
they replaced it with polygons
ATLUS MAKE A GAME WHERE I CAN WALK AROUND CAVES AND OFFICE BUILDINGS OR INSIDE OF A BIG MONSTER AGAIN YOU FUCKS

Try dungeon hack
It generates a random dungeon
It is similar to Advanced Dungeon & Dragons 2nd Edition
It is firstperson view perspective. You only get to control 1 character
You can turn dungeon features like traps, keys, locks, magic items, undead and water levels on and off and change food availability, monster difficulty & monster numbers
You can control how many levels in the dungeon
Each dungeon has a random number seed
My issue with many modern games is no one can design a dungeon anymore(partly a symptom of the obsession with HD graphics) Pokemon, Zelda, SMT and FF are all examples they've all traded dungeon exploration for dull empty open worlds and hallways.
