It isn't bad. It can seem bad now because every AAA game is psychologically designed to give the biggest possible dopamine response to increase in-game spending. So your brain, being conditioned on such games, will think the older game is bad because it was designed to be fun but also engage your brain and make you think. Since your brain has to work for it, it subconciously thinks the tradeoff is not as good as new games.

It's a good thing I don't play that kind of trash.
