Doom had some pretty dark levels especially in a lot of the additional episodes and I personally think they were amazing. Half-Life 1 and 2 are similar and they're both legendary games. Personally I would put the point where gaming started to go downhill at 2011 (with the release of skyrim).

Oblivion. It was Oblivion with the stupid horse armor.

Oblivion was the start of the modern microtransaction issues, Skyrim was the point when game stories starting getting worse and more simplified (Quite sad that stories went downhill after Fallout New Vegas which was arguably the peak of incredible storytelling).
