That magic is still there, it's just overshadowed by capital. It's hard to find magic in a sea of marketing. Try Noita, it's quite fun.

- imiric 2y agoI enjoy Noita, and interesting games like it, but I wouldn't describe it as "magical". Indies certainly are more enjoyable to play, but very few evoke that same feeling of awe like when you first experienced Doom or Mario 64 in the 90s. In a way I pity newer generations that have grown up in a digitally overstimulated world and missed the era when technology truly felt magical. The only game that triggered this feeling for me in the past ~decade was Breath of the Wild. Many other games are fun and enjoyable, but very few have that same magic. Whereas in the 90s this was much more common. I do concede that growing old could be part of the reason for losing that feeling, but I also think that the oversaturated market and lack of technical constraints play a role.
