It sure seems like all I ever hear about are games not utilizing gpu to the max lately. That Star Wars game is the only one that comes to mind, but it seems like there’s been a bunch more lately.
But are there any more modern games with that similar puzzle and adventure feel?
In the last couple of years, there have been so many games that ‘stewed’ in EA for a some time before finally getting a full launch. By that point, most of the ones that turned out to be good (like Factorio and Bannerlord) already had enough content or ‘substance’, devs’ promises aside, to justify buying them. Factorio was basically a fully-fledged game when version 1.0 came out, and for Bannerlord — knowing the M&B community and the devs’ previous project basically assured me that the mods would make up for whatever lacking in the base game.
Still, I’m kinda torn on what to think (if anything lol) or titles that get an early release. On one hand, it gives you the opportunity to have a more intimate run of the game in its rough state, and see it become progressively better (if the devs implement player feedback). But then there’s always the possibly that it’ll turn into abandonware, or that it just won’t live up to the hype. It’s a risk either way — but is it that much different …
Things like Hexen II Portal of Praevus, Heretic II, Wolfenstein 2009 are missing.
