Honestly, the jump from 2011 to 2025 doesn’t seem nearly as steep as say 2000-2011. Sure games look better today but 2011 games still hold up. In 2000, 3d graphics were still new and most titles are considered unplayable now in terms of graphics and controls
And 3D was the “AI” of those times. They had to bring it to EVERYTHING. Micro Machines (a top view toy car racer)? We’ll make it 3D, buy a card. Frogger? Yupp, Frogger 3D. They even tried to force 3D on poor Worms in 2003. I still prefer Worms World Party/Armageddon.

Frogger 2: Swampy’s Revenge was genuinely great though
Don’t forget all the 3d movies too.
