The graphics in non stylized art styles have aged (Lara Croft exhibit A) and I’d say controls have aged as well (tank controls in tomb raider and resident evil exhibits B and C)
But the gameplay was as good as it ever was. Crash Bandicoot, FFVII, Spyro, essential games of the generation. Despite my criticisms RE and Tomb Raider are as well. And these may be nostalgia talking but I think Chrono Cross, Tony Hawk Pro Skater and Metal Gear Solid and Syphon Filter belong on the list too.
I feel like complaining about early 3d era aging badly is like complaining about Its a Wonderful Life or Casablanca aging badly because they weren’t in color and they talk funny
Fifth gen has aged very badly compared to the third and fourth before it.
