I think that there hasn't been any truly innovative games in years. From my POV it seems like it is all about the graphics and micro-transactions and monetization of games anymore. I think that the gaming institution has kinda hit a wall with graphics quality and doesn't really know what to do anymore.  I think that the graphics, absent VR, are as good as they can really get (I mean really, I have seen the new NVidia card, RTX, vs. the old one ,GTX, and I couldn't think of a reason to buy the new one because, well, it just was not that much better, I could hardly tell the difference and it actually had to be pointed out in the comment section for me to tell which was which) and I don't think that improving them anymore is going to do much for games. That's just my humble opinion, though...I could be wrong...
