[Midget In A Pinstripe Suit]

Problem these days is that most games are mechanically similar, they all run on the same or very similar engines such as Unreal 4. So the real innovation comes either through introducing clever new story or gameplay mechanics or by taking existing tropes and doing something new with them.

In some ways it's a good thing, how long did it take for games to adopt an almost standardised set of controls (L2 aim, R2 shoot etc). As with a lot of things, the best ideas have been done and done to death, which is why remakes/remasters a still quite hot. That's not to say there's still not the occasional new bit of brilliance out of nowhere, but games will always be compared to past glories like it's Tomb Raider meets GTA or something. For that reason I'm more selective about what I do play given the time I get to dedicate to it.
