Saw the cutscene at the beginning and thought, oh, they ditched the ugly cel shaded art style, about time! Turns out I was wrong.

…until merger layoffs hit hard.

This is the sequel to that movie, Up in the Air… Until Not, I think it was called.

It's a walking simulator but it is also one of the best games ever made. In my top 5 for sure.

Any indies or AA studios really, those are the responsible for actually fun and finished products. Without them and their hits the industry will be a barren wasteland of predatory monetization and boring games-as-a-chore landscape.

Hack and slash? I remember it being a 3rd person shooter.

For some reason that title made me think I was in the Dadjokes sub and I was expecting to read some dad jokes inside.

They all looked, and felt, cheap AF just like the one in the pic. They were a thing too for DVD collectors if memory serves.

This is inevitable.

Not that the Tencent conglomerate is going to be any better to the gaming industry but yeah, you are not wrong.

This is not a surprise. Big companies have been very busy for the last decade in transforming video games into glorified visual experiences which feel more of a chore than fun to play.

That was the case for me when I was learning different design pieces of software. I might have gotten too settled now and kinda miss that feeling.
