Like obviously not for newer cutting edge games but for newer indie games and older AAA games?

I'd say it's only useful for older and less intensive games. Most modern games need an SSD, not just for load times, but for performance as well. I have a 2tb mechanical hard drive for storing my 300gb of music, documents, virtual machine ISOs and pre-2020s games. Everything else goes on SSDs.
