The last great modern games I’ve played it’s RE4 remake but that mostly thanks to the ground up job done by the groundbreaking original from 2005, so I “disqualify it”

No one with a creative vision
This is just false. There are many games that have good/great creative vision that come out. It’s just that like ‘never before,’ there is a tsunami of video games that come out every month. Finding these video games with good/great creative vision is tremendously hard unless you have a filter system in place. (And even then…) Are they all video games that we would likely pay for, no. There are a lot of half baked games that come out. I’m talking about video games from a single first time video game developer, 10 person dev team companies, 100 person dev team companies, all the way to 1000+ person video game projects made by AAA publishers/developers. And of course everything in between. Making a video game is easier to do nowadays, for sure. But to make a video game that captures all of the “creative vision” you speak of… very difficult to do so.
Some of the best video games to come out this decade have come from video game developers who were solo or small teams.
Untitled Goose Game
Inscryption
Vampire Survivors
DAVE THE DIVER
Factorio
So a lack of creative vision isn’t a bad thing?
Creative vision isn’t as important to modern game makers as profitability. In app purchases and expansion packs are what they want. So that’s what we get.
