I mean, as someone whos been making games for nearly 14 years now...the industry has changed.

I started out on a team of 50 making mid-budget games every year. The most recent game I shipped was a 7 year project with about 1,700 people on it (RDR2).

Companies are just much more risk adverse when the budget is that large, so you will get more sequels in established genres with established control schemes. The games will be higher quality than their predecessors in various ways, provided thats the style of game you want to play. And if you like that style of game? Fantastic youre in luck.

But if youre into a genre that used to be popular when you started playing games in the 90s but isnt popular now (text adventures, platformers, RTS) youre basically looking at either the indie market or playing old games.
