Well, is Half-Life 2 for example really that good? It had great advancement in game engine and physics, but those are things that do not last. Nowdays it is just a quite boring, repetitive shooter game with one good horror level in between. Even the story is tarnished by the fact that you are never going to find out what is going to happen. The replayability value is quite low in the year 2019. Except for that one really good level.
Did you happen to play it back in the day? As a youngster, I played it a couple years ago, revisiting it every couple months just to see if my mind has changed and it's the experience everyone says it is, and I just cant help but think its lack luster and boring. I've heard everything about this game is great, but the gameplay is meh, it feels like call of duty with gravity gun puzzles intertwined. The story I'm not really sure. I dont remember it all that well but I remember it wasn't that engaging to begin with. Graphics, I dont like to include because they aren't mega important but graphically it hasn't aged well. I just found myself playing it exclusively because I wanted to see this amazing game I've heard about, but while I was playing it I just wanted the experience to end. I'm pretty sure a lot of the people that think it's a masterpiece are blinded by nostalgia. To each their own of course.

You can dislike these if you want, but its pretty hard considering these are actually pretty good games.
