I think not. Modern video games are gaining momentum in terms of technology, mechanics, and graphics. And this is progress. However, many games suffered from a weak plot and characters that were not fully revealed. But your opinion still depends to some extent on your age) I love games, especially open-world ones. But now I'm kind of depressed, not wanting to play or something like that. I have a lot of games that I've been wanting to play for a long time, dreaming of playing. But when I turn on one of them. Thoughts like “why am I playing this?” appear in my head. I'd rather spend time with my wife. Or play with the kids.
My point is that games are developing at an incredible speed, but for the next generations.
This is my personal opinion.
I replaced games with watching anime to a greater extent)
