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?

    I dont have a lot of time right now but if you are looking for something different in terms of looks ...maybe check out Hylics and Hylics 2 ? Its at least pretty dang weird. If you just want something pretty to look at how about Ori and the Blind Forest ? Sorry if I misunderstood you.

    Mabye make a thread - give us games/ gernes you like and im sure folks could recommend you games if that is what your looking for.

      Hylics 1 and 2!

      Yes, those are two games I've wanted to try for a long while now!

      Also, I already made a previous thread for the thing you suggested down below in this comment.

      It's there, but honestly, I'm already noticing that some games look "samey" or look the same as the next one...

      Not ALL, mind you, but it got me thinking that this is becoming a problem lately.

      Of course, I'm probably exaggerating, but eh. I'm still gonna game and gonna git gud, but I do feel that even with the variety and quantity, the quality could be better.

        No problem. I hope you find what you are looking for -plus sometimes taking a break from gaming can be legit (as some other posters recommended)
