I disagree.

I routinely revisit old games with a critical mind. It is an interesting thing to do.

I find that quite a few games I really loved as a kid are special because I played during a formative age, yes. Some are better left in the past.

But I find some that still manage to impress me to this day. They are not good only as a memory, they are just really good.

And a second counter is that my all-time favorite consoles are the SNES and the Switch. I have been gaming ever since the Atari 2600 days. The Switch was released well into my 30s. I have no nostalgia for it.
