>Does the technology in games impress you anymore? 

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:

But it does feel 50% tech demo and 50% actual game.
