Comment on I feel like Expedition 33 is overrated [minor spoilers]

Perhaps this is an unpopular opinion but I found the game aesthetically quite ugly. Many landscapes had a feeling of copy pasted Unreal assets that looked so same-y at points they became confusing to navigate (especially given the lack of a mini-map). The characters had these blank, uncanny stares half the time and the designs for some of them (Esquie in particular) just didn’t look good to me.
I get shit every time I bring this up, but you are not alone! This game is undeserving of the “best art direction” accolades it recieved and they cheapen the other awards it got.

Game looks fine, but every game nowadays looks fine. 90% of the time when i ask people who say that E33 looks like the best thing they have ever seen. What other games they have played, they univesally say games that are 10 years old. If not older. E33 doesn’t look like an 11/10 its just that peoples standards are shit / they are use to old games / they play low graphic games normally. Or a combo of all 3. Of course its going to look great when you compare it to a ten year old out of date game that wasnt cutting edge even when it was new.
