This leap to 3D started much earlier and at first it was a downgrade in graphical fidelity. It took a long time until 3D games looked as good as 2D and 2.5D whether top down (Baldur's gate alliance) or like Ori.

Big leaps in gaming happened with changes in the way to control the games. The PS5 still the same controller since PS2. The last leap we had was the transition to analog sticks. Motion control didn't do much for pancake gaming, but did make VR possible. VR has the potential to be the biggest leap changing the way we play games, no longer as an observer looking at a screen, but actually being in the game. However that leap is still a bit too much for most people and just like the transition to 3D, at first its a step backwards in graphical fidelity.
