I believe it is accurate to say rtwp gameplay came before turn based and that turn based RPGs aren’t even that old in the grand scheme of video games. I know it’s not for everyone but for me personally if it isn’t turn based im way less interested. I’m too old for twitch based gameplay and rtwp feels tedious
Love all the monkey Island games, my sister and I played 3 together at the same pc when we were kids and it is a fond memory, have since played all the others.
I remember reading a write up by the creator essentially saying that each game sort of reflected where the small team of developers were in their life at the time of each game, from the first game being young and ambitious to third being marriage themed and the most recent having child raising themes. I am paraphrasing badly but was neat insight either way.
My only gripe about the game is that whenever I inevitably use lines from the game in my real life it’s exceedingly rare anyone has any idea what I am talking about
DE is fantastically well written, equal parts emotional and hilarious depending how you play and one of my all time favorite games. Big recommend
It a fairly low intensity PC game, steam has it, gog does too I think
My somewhat controversial suggestion is outward. Low graphical intensity PC game, very open world, and some incredibly unique and polarizing design choices. If your favorite part of breath of the wild was world exploration and korok finding, you may love it! If you like quality of life features though, maybe not.
Things like, you have a world map but no “you are here” marker so need to place yourself with landmarks. You need to drop your backpack to fight effectively and remember where you dropped it, the magic system is based on insomnia with the longer since you slept the more mana you have until you push it too far and just collapse. Really really weird game that I still think about all the time years later.
I affectionately refer to it as live action breath of the wild
This take is why you keep losing at golf
