Yeah you're definitely right. All of what you mentioned I've noticed too, mainly with American writers. However, i think it's the just modern day America that's less creative and original, because the most entertaining book I ever read was written in the 1970s. I am not joking when I say no other writer that I've ever read from is even close to that writer's mastery.
When it comes to games, I think American games were really original in the beginning but then they basically created this silly demand for war like shooter games and emphasized graphics and action over gameplay. Because of this I think most PlayStation and Xbox games are incredibly boring and simple minded, including God of war, and for the most part will only play Nintendo. I wouldn't want to play games like Call of Duty. To me, the gameplay seems as simple as Agario, the circle eats a circle game.
There are some good American games, but very few.

I like both
stoked about playing Tales of Arise soon
but God of War (2018) is still absolutely amazing
Adjule
Tales series always got the best stories around.
I don't know too much about God of War, but I can see its taking advantage of PS5's improved hardware.
