Pondering what actual new innovations in gameplay we have had in the last 15 years, the only thing that I can think of that's genuinely new is wacky climbing mechanics. 😆

@yora Don't forget all the processor/hd innovations like instant load times for level chunks allowing reality shifts, rendering like Riven where a 2d prerendered can now run realtime, and innovative uses of ram to do tons of special effects for games like Control's rediculous particles/graphical tricks. A lot of it has opened up new ways to be very creative with game elements that while maybe not 100% new are certainly now able to be pushed way further.
