Lots of good responses here! Really cool reading all the differing perspectives, and I agree with really everything you guys are saying.

I think the response that has best resonated with me is Veknoid’s— I have become convinced that while new IP is in fact fresh, many times it is the case that pre-established gaming series that introduce the most innovation. I mean, just look at how far forward games such as Mario 64 and Ocarina pushed their respective genres. Same can be said for Mario Odyssey, BotW/TotK, Elden Ring, and so many others.
