I mostly agree with what others have said. As a kid, we had smaller frames of reference and the freshness of these new experiences offered wow moments that are difficult to capture in the evolved yet more polished experiences of today.
That said, Bloodborne was a current gen game (the only one to be honest) that gave me the same sense of wonder, enjoyment and satisfaction that I had when I was a kid. I've enjoyed other games this gen, sure, Spider-Man being another solid entry just last year, but the feeling of accomplishment that older games gave seems to be lost on the newer games.
So even though it's rare to find those jewels which wow you, I think it's possible. They just have to tick the boxes which were ticked when you were wow'd as a kid. For me, that's a feeling of immersion, fluidity in gameplay, and a sense of accomplishment.
