True, also the old Resident Evil games or even Medievil had a lot of puzzles, you were definitely playing while "breaking your head", on the other hand, nowadays people look at guides so they don't have to think a lot while playing a video game or think about how to complete a level of a video game...
A lot of games are now just point and shoot. You just zombiefy why you play them. COD can be a bit of a thinking game, but I am not a fan of the shooting games so much. I was never very good at the zelda games, but I remember they wrote up some interesting gameplay guides, and those were fun to follow along to.

I'm not a fan of shooting games either, in fact, I think there are still quite a few games of that style, but maybe they're very niche and don't have as much audience...

I dont know, maybe it is because I grew up in that generation. I remember James bond, Halo, and COD.
