I like it, but propose a counter-point: most Mario games. They have some skill checks in the main game, but not many -- most of the difficulty lies in completely optional challenges. Often, you get to pick and choose your own difficulty by picking which stars/moons/etc. to collect to progress, only requiring that you get i.e. 5 out of 10 total.

I personally prefer the option of going for harder goals, but FWIW I did enjoy the Spyro remake (didn't play it as a kid).

    To the DNC: if your candidate does not campaign on divesting from Israel, THEY WILL NOT GET MY VOTE. Period. I don't care if it's Newsom vs Trump, I will fucking write someone in.

    Literally every single statement you made includes an assumption that the work wasn't checked and that nobody has any idea what it changed.

    Yes, slop exists, but one-shotting without review is not how most people use the tools.

    No Man's Sky doesn't sound like thr game you're looking for. Nothing in this universe is crafted to be interesting -- there is no exploring every corner of the world to find the last secret interaction, because there are no setpieces.

    Everything is generated. There are no real quests, or characters, or stories, there is only you and your ship and the bases you build along the way. You can create your own stories, but you will not be experiencing storytelling.

    It's morrowind without the cities or people or combat. There are fun parts to it, but I don't think the things that you look for in games are what you'll find here, based on the other games you listed.
