Games that excelled too much and ruined genres for you and why?

Metroidvania after Super Metroid.

Nothing has been as great to me since.

There are some that really go above and beyond. If you can get over the furry aspect, Dust and Elysian tale is excellent. I would never recommend Hollow Knight as I think it's over complicated crap but Nine Sols, chefs kiss. There are a lot of small devs doing the genre over the past years and I'd have to assume you'd find some thing that would break on through to to the other side and come away with a greater love for. I am of the mind all genres have this (Apart from RTS games beating Starcraft) but people just won't leave their comfort zone and explore new titles.
