There are plenty of new games that are evocative and stimulate the imagination. I'd suggest not getting too caught up in the enormous mass of Candy Crush exploitative garbage out there (which, there was a metric shit-ton of crappy games in the 1980s, too).
Pay attention to stuff like Journey, the Portal series, Limbo, Device 6, etc. -- the games that people will look back upon nostalgically when they're complaining about how games made in the 2040s lack the imagination of the games of their youth.
- Joeri 11y agoExactly this. A while back I was looking at old copies of defunct gaming magazines from my youth, and the thing that struck me was how most of the games in there were crap, and are now buried under so much landfill. We only remember the memorable. I actually think we're living in a gaming golden age right now, with more good games coming out than ever before.
