By this i mean games with so many obscure mechanics and different paths that a single person has no realistic chance of seeing/experiencing/solving everything without having to go Online and look stuff up in a wiki. think Minecraft, Binding of Isaac, maybe other weird stuff like Noita or Void Stranger. discuss
This kind of stuff sucks imo. But some games are basically built FOR the devs to enjoy and no one checks to see if it’s fun. Like think of Battletoads. The main tester was just good as fuck at games, sociopathic, and played it for 1000k hours. Many such cases.
Say what you want if Nintendo bug they don’t let psychopathic Nerds torture their audience ime

modern gaming is a supremely Oversocialized experience where there needs to be a wiki and a subreddit and a discord and the devs are patching the game on the fly and it all becomes one big circlejerk. but im at the point where i treat single player games like i would read a novel. i want a curated start to finish experience where i can match minds with the developer. i dont mind spending 40 hours on a game or getting stuck in some places but i want the satisfaction of finding things out myself
