What is it with games like this lately? These titles are completely devoid of creativity, running exclusively on the promise of amazing UE5 graphics
And then fail to deliver amazing graphics
Personally, I don't even care about the graphics that much. Sure, it's breathtaking and all, but by themselves they get old so quickly
Just looked at Steam reviews and apparently it's another shitty launch that doesn't run on anything other than the best cpu and gpu combos, so they can't even promise good graphics lol
I don't necessarily think title is the issue. Some of the biggest name games out there use pretty basic words: "God of War", "The Last of Us". They definitely lose some attention by being a brand new IP without much of a "signature feel" to them, like giant mechs, zombies, or princess magic.
I'm not talking about the title as in the name of the game. I'm talking about it in the sense of the game itself
"God of War" and "The Last of Us" are both incredible titles. They consist of simple words, immediately signal what the game is about, and have a poetic ring to them.
