I mostly agree with you.

I think there are a crowd of people who think that devs and writers can easily recapture the magic of the series and expand upon it in meaningful ways at will.

Then I think there are people who just love a game so much they want more of the same style content with few or no changes.

As an example, I really love The Outer Wilds, but you can only play it once since it hinges on you solving a bunch of interconnected puzzles which lead to an answer that was there all along. In other words, once you know, you can beat the game in about 7 minutes or so.

I would pretty much do anything for more of the same game. In fact, they could just keep making DLC for outer wilds with new planets and I'd play every release immediately.

Anyway, no complaints from me. The base game and the one DLC they released are literally flawless. I have the memories and warm feelings.
