Is it better to play the game while it is still fresh?

It is better to play the game while it is still fresh, and not when the game is 5 years old or more? Some say that it is better to play the game while it is fresh, like a hot pie, then it is not so interesting. Although you don't always have time to play games right away, sometimes you postpone it, and I don't seem to notice that it plays worse later ... Although personally I think it doesn't matter how old the game is, the main thing is that it is interesting and exciting.
