By and large, it hasn't impressed me in a long time, because in general technology matured (by that I mean a number of factors seemed to plateau, such as GPU speeds, 3D modeling technology, game design creativity etc) compared to the rapid progress being made in the 90's for example. One standout title that is impressive visually (graphics/physics) and in many ways does feel "next level" is a game called Bodycam. A tactical multiplayer shooter based on Unreal Engine 5 where the players view is from the perspective of a body cam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-YGXZHNDOo But it does feel 50% tech demo and 50% actual game.
