For me it is the games with lot of sequels like assassins creed or those sport games i dont think it is necessary bad game. For me the fastfood tastes like ok not the best not worst so nothing surprises me i will get what i expect same it is for me with assassins creed i like those games and i know what to expect from them really a comfort game for me.

Gacha genre, it feels like. Addicting, but ultimately terrible for your health, though maybe a bit inverted, fast food affecting the body and as a consequence the mind, and gachas first the mind and as consequence the body.

Any crappy pixel sidescroller, eg.the Google Dino game

Did you know YouTube has games now? They load near instantly, easily accessible on mobile or desktop, and they’re p much all shit. Most of them are basically generic asset flips or imitations of popular mobile games. I really can’t think of anything closer to cheap fast food.

Wow, congrats on beating Silksong! I’ve been watching my partner play and am afraid of the bosses, not sure how far I’ll get in it.

I’m slowly working through Baby Steps and having a blast with every tumble. It’s hard at first but after a handful of hours I’ve got a rhythm to scramble up most inclines. I find the navigation fun in the same way I like Snowrunner’s exploration: difficult terrain that can be learned and quickly traversed.

I’m also finishing Sniper Elite V2 because I never completed it and I didn’t want to buy the new Resistance game.

RollForInitiative,

Huh i never knew there was a remake of Sniper Elite V2, might have to check it out. Thanks for mentioning it

GammaGames,

I actually didn’t know that until a few days ago, I’m playing the original! They definitely went the right route in the newer games with the sandbox level design, but I’m still having fun with the linear levels

anything that claims to be AAA, or is made by a giant lifeless shit corporation

Still playing Silksong, I should probably be getting to Act 3 now, but I’m procrastinating and trying to find more hidden places.

Krauerking,

I have been procrastinating and exploring every nook and cranny of that world. Its amazing how much it feels real and lived in. Like they have the whole thing figured out down to why some screws are more rusted than others.

I am so reluctant to start act 3 cause i already struggled with the first funeral. Its gonna break me i just know it.

Most mobile games. They follow one of a few basic formulae, they rarely have anything original, and they’re full of bloated ads and other garbage. But they know how to give that dopamine hit.

Hmm… I think this one is gonna be personal because people enjoy genres to varying degrees.

For me, it’s Konami’s PES (eFootball now, or FL2025 if you’re modding)

Start career mode, buy players, play a season, forget about it, and repeat like a month or two after. It’s a fairly mindless activity to me and I do it when I wanna give my brain a break.

Cookie Clicker (and clicker games in general)

I’m prepare to be hated for this one but …

Cyberpunk 2077. (At first I was thinking CoD but I’m no multiplayer player) There’s no new mechanics, if you know the source material there’s also nothing new. Dialogues are so so and the expansion story line is awful.

In my opinion it’s a basic game with a new gen console veneer, anyway I’ve played the story 2 times

ordnance_qf_17_pounder,

Amen to that. We Cyberpunk haters are few, but we do exist.

It’s diabolical how a Cyberpunk game can have such little customisation and such a shallow world with virtually nothing to do outside of missions.

You’re allowed to not like the game, but “fast food?” It’s a massive RPG with AAA production and hundreds of hours of content.

“Fast food” would be short/shallow experiences that are just designed to be addictive like clicker games.

TribblesBestFriend,

Agree to disagree

Cyberpunk have clear gamification mechanics in it but that’s not the point.

Fast food food are easy to digest with low effort production, Cyberpunk don’t try to incentivize something new, it used mechanics that we have seen a hundred of times and clear story beats for all its plot points.

Don’t get me wrong, you’re allowed to have fun with it but there’s nothing new in there

You’re clearly missing the point of OP’s post. This has nothing to do with novelty or creativity.

A steak isn’t original or avant-garde, but it’s certainly isn’t “fast food” even if you think the steak is cooked poorly.

I think you’re just conflating “shallow” with “bad”.

Bloons TD fits this for me, I play it when I’m too ill to think properly but still need something to pass the time

On the first picture, you could headcanon that’s for a planned future extension to the highway.

Ooh, that is an interesting idea. Isn’t 8’s version of the map a little different? Maybe after 21 years, at some point the expansion is finished and that’s actually what we’re driving on

As a plot and gameplay device i love when games with party mechanics remove the Main Protagonist from the party for a bit and have you control someone else.

Same! These moments always feel special. I also really love how Wall Market is depicted in this chapter.

Heh, that’s some interesting bits of exploration.
