Many of them are riffing on formulas that have been around since NES. In general, I think the best work done today in the games industry falls into three buckets: Western A (or indie) games, Japanese AA games, and Japanese AAA games (thanks mostly to Nintendo). In my mind, many modern AAA experiences are spoiled by cinematic pretensions or games-as-a-service frameworks. |
Thanks to mostly Nintendo? The company that has cannibalized their last consoles library to fluff this one, that has been increasingly using anti consumer practices like season passes and dlc instead of focusing on releasing games and their sequels instead of draining the consumer dry, that has easily the worst bang for your buck in their online pay wall, ect.
They were the last bastion of consumer centric gaming, this gen though they're leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
