Name a mechanic or feature from older games that modern AAA games forgot to bring back.

You ever boot up an older game and said to yourself, "why don't games do this anymore?" For me, it's the cheat codes and unlockables that actually rewarded you for playing and achieving something in-game. It made games feel like little playgrounds that are full of surprises.

Now, all I see these days are achievements and even cosmetics locked behind paywalls. I miss those days where you'd spend hours messing around just to see what the devs added for fun.
