well many games like movies have become formulaic spreadsheet todo lists in game design, the bigger a game the more likely this is to be the case.
Add on top that we are in phase agewise where we literally have seen everything in this area just with less sophisticated graphics.
So yes the games industry has gone the way of the movie industry, formulaic games, indie games which try to do something new or are just junk and from time to time a really good title which tries to break new ground or at least does not feel formulaic, like BG3 for instance.
