| okr said: Simplified view. There are hundreds of old-falshioned games without microtransactions and/or over-the-top-graphics on PC (especially) and other systems. Why single out Captain Toad? Having said that, I'll definitely get Captain Toad. Looks great. |
i think you might be missing the point. he's saying it's a game with near triple-a production values (a beautiful game i think inarguably) which nevertheless was made to be a complete, standalone package that takes less than 10 hours to complete. in short, that it's a game that values quality over quantity, whereas the aim of these triple-a mmo-lite titles is an endless torrent of content at the price of actual gameplay innovation or, as was the case this year, actually functioning...
ubisoft also had a good, small, beautifully made game this year, which i would take over the same stale sandbox-y asscreedwatchdogscrew nonsense any day of the week, and it was called child of light.
