“All” is straight up wrong but I’d agree with you if you said most games pre-2016 don’t hold up
Comment on What are some eras of gaming that you've stopped feeling nostalgic for?

I couldn’t care less for anything made before 2016. It’s all aged horribly. Every time I hear play shadow of the Colossus I vomit in my mouth. Ground breaking at the time, but an otherwise garbage game with okay story in a modern context.
And while not an era I’m going to stay on my soap box. Open world games without strong narrative and massive amounts of backtracking. Every open world game on the planet minus God of war(s), the first hzd (and this was pushing it), rdr2( pushing it), and cyberpunk has way to much shit spread out with little drive to finish narrative. You shouldn’t be backtracking into previous areas or sections in areas without some clever ass level design.

Man, I’m far closer to calling everything after 2016 garbage. I’m not sure how SotC hurt you, but some games are just timeless.
