Why use c++ over c for game development?

Isn't c++ overkill for most games? I think with good architectural decisions you can make decent 2d and 3d games using only what's available in c without the higher level concepts introduced in c++? Do you think I'm being stupid here? Am I missing something? I'm only just starting to learn c making simple games leaning heavily on Raylib and ECS architecture.
