As video games develop more and more over the years, companies have been making them more and more realistic-looking. I can guess this is related to expectations, but am I the only one who doesn't care about graphics? We could be using the same processing power to store worlds that have as much exploration potential as the Earth itself if we weren't afraid to save on processing power by going back to 8-bit.

You should play Nethack

I can attest to how neat Nethack is.

While I agree with the OP, I don’t like dungeon crawlers due to the way you lose several hours of Progress for a simple mistake.

But that is why I play NetHack. It's like an endurance test

Good for you. I play games to have fun, not to test my endurance.
