I feel like too many video games look the same. (lemmygrad.ml)

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?

Try them, you won't run out any time soon. Yeah there are rarely very recent games that went as hard as Resident Evil Village and some of the remakes and such, next big ones are Silent Hill 2 remake which...idk about it, we'll have to wait for it to come out to see how it turns out but I'm already skeptic and GTA 6.

Because most of the games past like 2017 aren't anything special if they are not sequels to the OGs, idk why is that, but since then they really started ruining some of the big titles with pointless sequels(Assassin's Creed, FnaF etc) unnecessary updates(cough ARK cough), and turned horror into a laughing stock. That's why I stick to the OGs mostly pre-2017 along with good sequels of them.

Damn, I probably should try Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Village (8).
