Three games spring to mind:
​
This post contains HEAVY spoilers for each game. Don’t click on any of them unless you want the entire thing ruined.
Game #1 >!Frog Fractions!<
!Seems at first like an incompetently made math game for kids that fails to teach kids about fractions. To earn points, you’re supposed to catch fruit before they fall into a pond, but pretty soon you might accidentally discover that by swimming down you can find a trove of literally billions of fruit, which you can then use to buy passage to Mars and the game gets fucking bonkers from there on out, switching genres multiple times. Very funny, lots of great jokes.!<
Game #2 >!Doki Doki Literature Club!<
!Seems like a cute visual novel about wooing one of three girls by writing poetry with them after school. Turns out one of the girls knows this is a game, …

Recently I started replaying Red Faction games: Guerilla and Armageddon, but also shooters like FEAR, Crysis.
And I started wondering, what the hell happened to the development of physics and destructive environents in games. Quite a few years ago a lot of ppl seem to be excited about this and I think many of us thought that the next years will bring great progress in these areas.
But to me it seems that instead we got nice graphics, battle royals and complete absence of environmental damage and good physics engines. Static worlds. I mean, you shoot the box and the box is still there. (Gore is also less common, but thats another topic)
But maybe I’ve missed something. Are there any good new/not so new games with solid physics engine (not only destruction-driven games) or high-impact shooters like FEAR?
EDIT: Far Cry 2 was also awesome with its engine, I mean spreading fire and so on. The next Far Cry games forgot about it
I am replaying some older PC games and for nostlagia’s sake I would love to read some of the original reviews from when the games were new. Metacritic lists a lot of reviews from back then but most of the links are dead. Are there any websites with archived reviews going back twenty years or more?
Just wondering because i’m wanting to scratch my bowling itch. Thanks!!
