The problem isn't nostalgia, it's that the endgame loop hasn't evolved much since the original, and other genres have moved past that design decades ago

On Don't Starve
Same kind of night here, my brother jumped so hard he knocked his drink over, we still laugh about the mess it made on the carpet
What holds up best is the encounter design, honestly. Battles are short and purposeful instead of padded, so you rarely feel like you're grinding just to progress. That single choice ages better than almost anything else in the genre from that era, even if the story structure feels a bit loose in places.
