I think the 3D Marios only got better over time, at least up to Galaxy 2 (not that I dislike 3D World or Odyssey), I think its a straight shot of Galaxy 2 > Galaxy 1 > Sunshine > 64. Galaxy's controls and setup are just so much better and Galaxy 2 only improves on that.

I think graphics have pretty much "peaked". All the effects and stuff getting hyped nowadays, I just don't notice during gameplay at all.

I think RPG mechanics becoming more common is a bit overhated. I definitely don't think every game needs it, and they can definitely be done poorly, but I think its a good way of handling progression and I just find stuff like levelling up and perks to be really satisfying.

Speaking of RPG mechanics, I think vertical progression like "+15% damage" gets an unnecessary bad rap. New abilities and becoming more versatile are good, but you need to balance it out. Sometimes its nice to get a reward that you know makes you just straight up better rather than adding another cooldown to think about or another conditional modifier.
