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 good and then quickly bump into games that ARE bad. I don't know. Maybe just me. Probably lol

Thoughts? Do you think too many games nowadays look the same or "samey"? Do you think many have this problem?

    Nothing wrong with taking a break! Can be good to focus on something else for a while.

    If you want some recommendations, this video is the first in a series released over the last month or so about underrated Steam games. By 'underrated' the creator means that these are games that have <500 Steam ratings with >85% sentiment. Some really interesting stuff in this and the other videos that you wouldn't see elsewhere or likely run into on your own, and the videos respect your time. It's pretty easy to find the stuff that's already highly rated and regarded, but odds are you've already seen a lot of that.
