Why we're going back to the games of our youth

A growing number of millennial gamers are drifting back to familiar territory as current-generation consoles become harder to afford and some older titles are being remade. The piece describes how retro collections—PS1 joyas en cajas o clásicos de SNES/Mega Drive—are appearing on living-room shelves, alongside comfort games like Stardew Valley. It argues that, with so many well-regarded older games available, many see little reason to buy something new. The author cites 2026 remakes such as Star Fox on Switch 2 and Halo: Campaign Evolved across other consoles and PC, saying the refreshed versions feel genuinely novel, not just replayed memories.
