If you really want to exercise creativity then maybe you could try watching more films, reading books, or even playing other games. You'd be surprised how many movies and books have ideas that could easily be implemented into really cool game mechanics that almost no one else is doing. If all else fails, sometimes even just playing a genre of game you like, horror, fps, strategy, and making one of your own with your own twist can be enough. Look at Crossy Road and Candy Crush. Just don't be lazy by going full Clony Bird level of development.

Bonjourno,
I am Mr Shredo, I come from SmashByteGames. I've been doing minor stuff in the game dev scene for a few years now, mostly game jams and very small scale development. I main as a designer, but also program and do sound design. As a new team we're currently working on a small 3D jetpack runner for mobile.
Our video here is quite old and will be replaced soon, but gives a good idea of where the game's heading.
;)
