So I’m currently playing through Hollow Knight, and two months ago I played through (and loved) Ori and the Blind Forest.
Two Metroidvanias inside two months. Okay I hear you ask, what of it?
Well, those are the first Metroidvanias (or 'Search Action games, for those in the know) that I’ve ever really played for longer than ten minutes. To say I bounce off those sorts of games would be an understatement.
So, as you’ve gotten older, have you noticed that your tastes in games has evolved in any meaningful way?
Less patience for turn based games. I used to love the old school turn based RPGs, Bard’s Tale, the SSI Gold Boxes, Wasteland, Neuromancer. Even newer stuff like enabling turns in the Old Republic games.
Tried the new version of Wasteland and Baldur’s Gate 3 and just found them tedious.
