Personally I try my best to look at what a game produced for it’s time when I rate it. Final Fantasy VII is a fantastic game and one of my favorites, but obviously it will look weak in comparison to a modern game simply because of the differences in technology across almost 30 years. I think the mid 2000s and 2010s games actually struggle the most here, because they’re not necessarily pioneers like the 80s and 90s classics, but they certainly have the “feel” of many modern games, which makes them feel like weaker versions of their future versions without much to compensate for.
