Most games on the market today are soulless run-of-the-mill video game equivalent of junk food. Just my personal opinion, no offense intended.

Junk food is being nice... I'd say many games are radioactive waste. Which means not only are they terrible in gameplay, but they install advertisements, push for account/registration activations, ugly DRM, and some even want monthly memberships.
Even when a company has good intentions, good developers, financial support, and an active community the game can still fail as what happened with Elemental. The biggest mistake made by game companies and developers is they place too high of a focus on graphics at the sacrifice of game content, game balance, game options, game strategy, game depth, etc., etc., . The end result is a very pretty looking piece of garbage.
