Will the generation growing up on modern games have any nostalgic aesthetic?

There’s some good recent games that stand out entirely on their own that are not Cawadoody trash or gacha trash or liiiiiiiiiiiiiive services trash.

It’s a golden age for indy titles.

I mean, I’m pretty sure some will be nostalgic for Undertale/Deltarune. And maybe Disco Elysium. kitsuralsei

I’m almost certain Risk of Rain will be nostalgized heavily.

There are plenty of cool/fun games out there that have a cool aesthetic. Hi-Fi Rush, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, any of the Borderlands games (even the new ones), the new Spider-Man games are ultra polished high-budget AAA blockbuster titles that I’m almost positive will make people nostalgic for in the future.

The best games of this generation will have nostalgia. No one really has nostalgia for the mountains of shovel ware that came out in the 90s and 00s but it still existed.

One interesting thing is that a lot of games these days are “live service” and so they won’t be able to experience them the same ways in 20 years where I can basically play any of my favorite childhood games as I experienced them as a kid

Honestly, I feel nostalgia for bad games too. I remember when I found out about Big Rigs, the “worst game ever made”. It was useless and full of bugs, but I feel nostalgia anyway when I think about me playing that
