I am spending more and more on older games these days. Every new full price game I have bought has disappointed me massively. I pumped hundreds of hours into Grim and the expansions for less than £20 in sales. Currently playing through shadow tactics: blades of the shogun. I bought that and the DLC Aiko's choice for £8 earlier this week. There are a ton of these in the series, so i am set for a long time it seems.
My last full game price experience was Hogwart's legacy. I have 108 minutes played. I reckon I have actually played 15 minutes in that. The rest was just video after video of story telling. I am normally someone who skips cutscenes, so this is a really bad match for me. Hogwarts has an 84% positive rating. A lot of people like this sort of stuff, just not me unfortunately.
You aren't alone. Forspoken was fun but they gated the gameplay behind a tonne of super slow paced unskippable town parts.
Maybe that's what the like about dark souls series, right in the action rarely out of it.
