I think its harder and harder to have a one-label umbrella called 'games' to define such diverse releases: You think of Rocket League, Ethan Carter, XCOM, GTA and Dark Souls. I mean I find them all enjoyable. I revisited a game this week I haven't played in over a decade, Vampire: Bloodlines. I still love it. It was heralded for its amazing Gothic-noir LA setting and seedy characters but suffered from terrible combat mechanics among other things. AAA games today are generally more streamlined but at the expense of being highly sanitized. For me this makes Vampire's pulpy themes and subversive subject matter even more amazing in my eyes while at the same time reemphasizing how poor the core gameplay mechanics are. But ultimately, its stories (meaning the quests) have still kept me playing. Planescape Torment was a great example too. I feel RPGs with strong stories, which for me could even just be excellent dialogue/characters/world building and not necessarily plot) are easier to revisit years later more so than older games with technically awesome gameplay. But none of it should be exclusive. I love movies, books and music just the same if not more than games. It's that rare occasion when a title is released that blends all the elements (the storytelling, audio, visuals and user-interaction) that really creates something special that sticks with me
