criticalresist.substack.com A look at historically-inaccurate feudalist video games
Approaching Lords&Villeins' inaccuracies and how sim games often end up incentivizing the player to pursue the collective outcome.
This community is focused on discussing video games as a form of art, and as pieces of media in a historical context.
Rules:
- No news unless extremely necessary, that kind of content is generally better in /c/gaming.

Video Games @lemmy.ml Makan @lemmygrad.ml I feel like too many video games look the same.

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 goo

What do you think?
Is this the "lost Oracle game," as this video speculates?

Video Games @lemmy.ml voracitude @lemmy.world Why Starbound Failed
This hits hard 'cause I was one of the fans so hopeful that Starbound would be Terraria 2 (In Space), and backed it on Kickstarter.
The presentation is a bit editorial at times, but I feel it's a pretty good overview of the game and the context surrounding its development, hype, and downfall.
