Comment on I feel like Expedition 33 is overrated [minor spoilers]
otacon239@lemmy.world 23 hours agoI often forget about them as soon as they release. Part of it also is that they usually fall off the map after the first year of being popular and then are never brought up again. That’s why I commented here is because I was surprised to see someone still talking about this game.
The most recent other examples I can think of are Pragmata, Where Winds Meet and Crimson Desert. I’m not even saying I think these games are bad, just poorly marketed to anyone other than the existing audience for them.
I can’t say I’ve heard of Where Winds Meet or Crimson Desert (Pragmata however, I’ve heard is very good and I’d like to give it a go). E33 feels somewhat different in that it has achieved mainstream success, and I disagree that it has been forgotten about already.
Is it perhaps that those games in particular have this kind of modern generic/bland 3D visual style? So many modern games (usually AAA) look same-y to me nowadays.

Pragmata is also short single player, and basically came and went in a weekend. Its a good game. Its not a game you think about a month after it releases.
