seems like it's just the same shit each and every title. it's either AAA garbage supervised by Sweet Baby which smears harder than peanut butter when you so much as move the mouse (LOTF2023 made me want to fucking vomit), or some pastel-colored low-poly retro indie game that ends up either being dogshit through lack of development and refinement, or blowing itself up harder than some palestinian hospital.
modern gaming is a sick joke and I ain't laughing
if you actually want to play something akin to this, here's what you can play
- Shadow Tower: Abyss on the PS2. game's far better, the artstyle is done more consistently, and it has bits of soul you'd never think existed to begin with.
- King's Field IV on the PS2. same deal, but it's got a proper story you can tredge through, even with the non-standard controls.
- Ultima Underworld. the PC version is good, but the PS1 version is even better. incredible WRPG, still holds up to this day. hard as nails too.
