Big developers simply aren't making games for people like you and me, I'm more of a city builder and FPS guy as well. I especially like RPGs and City builders because they are very good genres to chill to and FPS' are for when I want a challenge. Instead it's nothing but generic ubisoft style open worlds and simulators with 1000's of cosmetic DLCs being churned out over the course of a few months.
Hell sometimes I'll even get into a top down or puzzle game if I'm in the mood but I've not seen a good one of those for decades because it requires some decent design to be entertaining and devs don't bother with any of that anymore and rely on procedural generation too much.
I've just retreated to my decades old backlog of vidya I need to play through. Running through original Ff7 on an emulator right now. Graphics are outdated but I've already gotten used to it as I fall into the plot
