(modern military shooters are all the rage)
Have you seen the most common modern military shooters (Call of Duty)?
That is anything except realistic and imo a good example of the over the top games I mentioned.

I don't think it's a generational issue.Somehow "down to earth" or even "realistic" stuff has become so lame in the mind of the current generation of gamers that they do not want to do anything to do with it.
OK - as others have said, I see selection bias.Actually I am more talking about games in general, RPG or also video games and also the movie industry.
Does Call of Duty have spikey armor, and buster swords?
I don't agree with the premise. For every fantastical movie series, there's another doing a "gritty" Bond reboot or Nolan's version of Batman or something. Maybe escapism trends towards the escapist - that makes sense - but it's by no means universal.
