Are there still games these days that are worth money other than Minecraft?

Why are junk games sometimes so high in price
Can you recommend games to me because the only games I can still find playable are, for example, Quake 3 or C&C or Minecraft
Why is the quality getting lower and lower?
I thank each person in advance

Need For Speed Heat is a hammer game I'm convinced of the performance, but you can also say that the game could also be sold for 40 euro instead of 60 euro… The quality is getting better and better of the games only because I agree with you, prices are unfortunately higher and higher

The prices are getting higher and higher due to various factors.

The quality of good games is often better, but often more as a result of technical innovations.

Maybe Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 or Cyberpunk 2077 would be something, of course, they also cost a lot of money, but in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 you have a lot of options.

Not all games are completely junk. E.g. Dirt4 I still think is a good car racing game and I always enjoyed gaming.

It's about money. Some may think they can make more money with high prices.
What good games are is very subjective. Minecraft is quite a special case for its price, too. Skyrim is now very cheap and one of the most popular games and you also seem to play older games. Otherwise maybe Portal 2 or Need for speed undergroudn 2. Of the newer games, I think The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Detroit become human, The Talos Principle are very good.
How do you determine the quality? The graphics, the scope, the mechanics tend to get better and better. And the story isn't exactly amazing in old games either

I can't do anything with most AAA games either, but you have to know your gaming taste best.

For example, I've been playing "The Binding of Isaac" for almost 10 years because there's nothing better in this genre for me, I recently started with Hunt: Showdown.

I also play a lot of indie shooters which stick to old school titles like Doom, Blood etc.
