Games these days actually seem to be focusing more on looks/artwork rather than developing high-quality gameplay. Especially in Russian games. Because, apparently, pretty looks are more important than quality gameplay.

Lower detail = Higher gameplay quality
Higher detail = Lower gameplay quality

Game developers that work on both of these qualities put in a lot of careful and hard work into the final product, which is less common but really stands out to gamers.

realism in games depends on the person, i guess. people talk about games today being more "realistic", and some of them are, but some of them really aren't. i've seen games that had more detail to them, but like every single thing in the game had this odd, rubbery texture to it. certain games made in Unity seem to have that going on.

I don't think any of it is really dying to be honest, it's definitely improving.

Well for 1, gaming is becoming a lot more serious in modern day world with E-Sports and such. Also expectations for game developers are a lot higher since people don't want the same gameplay repeated, meaning a lot of newer developers are finding it hard to get their games into the industry.

Just in terms of improving on stuff. I remember as a kid having a PS1 how cool these games were. And was amazed at how good the graphics were on PS2. Just wondering what you think?
