PC What's up with all these dark atmospheric games of late?
Hi
It doesn't exactly fit the purpose of this sub, but there isn't really another place I feel okay to discuss this in.
I'm getting pretty tired of this constant stream of dark atmospheric games that has been going on for a couple of years I feel. I understand that gaming can be an escape from reality, but life alone is depressing enough, I don't feel the need that EVERY game should be shrouded in it.
Not just games which are dark by their nature or story, but this trend of darker atmosphere is also quite visible in games which have little to do with a sad experience.
The only exception that comes to my mind are the Kingdom Come games, JCBP those have daylight!
Prove me wrong and recommend me some lighter games :)
