MODERATORS
I saw this game, like, 5 minutes ago and I can already say it looks bloody awful. It's like they put all the buzzwords in a hat and decided to make a game from them.
I can see bits of Fotnite, Zelda, Pokemon, and every Minecraft clone under the sun. Not a single new thing brought to the table.
Are there any games from the last 10 years or so that aren't just combining already established ideas?
Factorio, maybe?
Factorio was inspired by Minecraft mods BuildCraft and IndustrialCraft, but yeah, few games have done what Factorio has, and those that have tried never quite reached it's level. Sure, there are games that feature automation with complex recipes (Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere Program, Shapez), but only Factorio actually managed to pull off a sense of exponential scale.
Yeah, I'm aware of the Minecraft mods, but I wouldn't have called the ideas established before Factorio came along. As for Satisfactory et al, they were inspired by Factorio itself, so obviously don't count.
