They’re either pixel-shit or wastelands or some shit.

At times, they seem very grey-ish, like the Dune duology by Denis Velleneuve.

The color palette’s just not doing it for me.

And at times, the gameplay is the same… Remember when Nintendo made games with more gameplay “gimmicks”? I miss those “gimmicks” because they made things interesting, but at least Echoes of Wisdom (the new Zelda game) will have something like that… Even the Indie games can sometimes over-use the Unity engine or Unreal Engine 5.

It may be because I’m depressed, but aside from OMORI, which is also a bit derivative from other RPG Maker games (I still love it), nothing really… Idk, looks interesting?

I just had a thread about suggesting me games, but I’m running into the same problem as before.

…I… probably should at least try them, at least some, but I feel like I’ll run out of games that ARE good and then quickly bump into games that ARE bad. I don’t know. Maybe just me. Probably lol

Thoughts? Do you think too many games nowadays look the same or “samey”? Do you think many have this problem?

    If you haven’t played Obra Dinn definitely try that as well. I spent a very pleasant Sunday afternoon churning through it with the aid of a large ledger book to take notes. Very unique gameplay experience once you get into it. Don’t worry too much about trying to solve crimes as you work through the scenes the first time, just unlock everything so you can really get to work.

      I do like nautical games…

      Alright, I’ll try the Obra Dinn and, besides, it’s not that big of a commitment.
