I have been playing since early-ish 90s and not only do older games seem better than current ones, but even when I play them they seem to be better. I think the earliest game that I still enjoy thoroughly and seriously is XCOM and that was in 92 (or something like that). HL1 doesn't hold a candle to some of today's games, but HL2 is still a better single player every time I play it than anything in the past 5 years (except for Metro 2033, holy shit that game is fucking amazing).

 

Basically, some genres have taken 4 steps back, while others have actually improved. Dunno why or how, but only a few games in the past 5 years have kept my attention for more than a few hours in certain genres (also Metro 2033 is fucking amazing!).

Twice now lol. It's really that good?

How do u personally compare it to say STALKER, Bioshock and Half-Life 2, quality wise?

It's pretty close to Bioshock level, I like it more than the first STALKER and I hated Half Life 2, so yeah its pretty good, but it's shorter than all of those games and doesn't have any re playability. It's worth a rent.
