Some games from the past play a lot worse in hindsight than others. What recent, decently-liked video games do you expect to suffer this curse?

Starfield is already shit but in five years it'll look like bloody green shit
Time wasn't kind to the perception of Skyrim or Fallout 4, it's going to be brutal for Starfield
I think time has been pretty kind to Skyrim, the main problem was the insistence on re-releasing it a dozen times for no reason.
I guess I mean more in the critical view of the vanilla game (main story quest is insipid and nonsensical, mage progression is very badly balanced and unfun, leveling as a whole is a crapshoot, draugr deathlords and other boss enemies are unfun damage sponges, dragons are easily distracted idiots, world is comprised of 80% bandit population, etc).
Honestly if Skyrim modding wasn't so mature and (relatively) approachable, the criticisms would be harsher, but considering that these days you can download preassembled modpacks that turn the game into 4KHD SEKIRO COMBAT ENB GLOBAL ILLUMINATION PARALLAX NEXT GEN REALISM HDT JIGGLE PHYSICS AND HARDCORE SURVIVAL that probably makes the average player pretty unconcerned with what the vanilla game is like.
call me basic but I genuinely really enjoy modded oblivion and skyrim
no idea what a starfield is and not gonna bother with it
I come back to the Skyrim modding scene every six months or so. There is so much high quality OC for that game that I don't think I'll ever be done playing it (especially because I play the really trashy OC lmao).
Yeah as much as Skyrim is a weak point in the Elder Scrolls saga, I still look back on it fondly. Starfield will not have this legacy.
It didn't take time to dislike Fallout 4; I'd say it was just the opposite. People didn't like it almost as soon as it came out. It has taken time for many people to give it credit as a fun game just not a fun fallout game.
In my opinion, though, that's still a pretty damning criticism of a game called Fallout 4. But I digress.
You are way off on Skyrim. For starters, it's already older than the entire range op asked about and it's still a good game. Op asked for a game that's come out in the last 5 years and will be looked at somewhat poorly in another 5 years.
Well skyrim came out....2011. Over 12 years ago. And at this very moment, after 12 years, it's ranked at 54th on steam for current player count.
Honestly, among g*mers I know, Oblivion and Morrowind seem to get more praise than Skyrim, but that could just be nostalgia and contrarianism.
Oh, my bad, I was trying to make the point that vanilla Skyrim has been regarded as less of a good game in retrospect rather than trying to say it fits what OP was asking for.
And yeah tons of people are still playing Skyrim. Vanilla Skyrim might not be a great game, but it's a fantastic platform for installing mods. I'm literally in the process of setting up a modpack for it right now.
that fruit you picked was hanging looooow
