It's not nostalgia for me; I still play 7th gen games now and then and in terms of the core gameplay I feel most 7th gen games hold up. The visuals have aged, but as a retro gamer that doesn't bother me. To me, something like Mario Galaxy, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Xenoblade Chronicles, or Dead Space are still great.

Honestly didn't play all those games but uncharted, gears and mario galaxy are were all super repetitive and simple imo. playing mario odyssey and it's leagues better then Mario galaxy with much better controls and even though it's not that challenging same as galaxy the exploration and gimmicks are really great and feel like banjo Kazooie true sequel.

We're just gonna have to disagree there as I thought they were excellent.

I love Odyssey, but that was a Switch game so for the purposes of this specific thread, the relevant 8th gen equivalent would be Super Mario 3D World, which I thought was a good game but far less creative and ambitious than Galaxy.

For me the Wii U and Xbone drag down the 8th gen average a lot compared to Wii and 360.
