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?

    Another one: God of War reboot and its sequel. The empty open world, shallow loot mechanics, and worthless equipment system already felt archaic on release. The combat is yawn-inducing compared to the DMC-lite style of the original.

      The gameplay is kind of whatever but the narrative is excellent

      Oh yeah that's a good example. I'd say that most games that are frequently praised for their writing age poorly, because most video game writing is pretty bad, so once the sheen of having Kratos have an actual personality wears off the game kinda falls apart from there.
