This meme is giving "I have only played Ubisoft/ea/actizard titles for the past 4 years" and I mean do whatever you want but it seems silly to complain about games you continue to buy no?
I loved Pokemon, but it hasn't really changed in like 20 years. I'll play some romhacks, maybe I'll "try out" a newer pokemon game, but I haven't bought one since like omega ruby/alpha sapphire. The point I'm making is if we stop buying repetitive garbage, we can bring the small devs up and let them determine the course of game design moving forward.
Or I mean you can just.... Keep playing assassin's creed: (insert vague cultural name here) I guess
Can you recommend some good open world indie games?
Sure!
Valheim is fantastic, Kenshi is brutal and unforgiving but very fun, outward is similarly difficult and fun, also very unique.
Open world is kind of a huge genre, so I'd even say games like Subnautica, terraria, etc might be up your alley.
Edit: I can't believe I left out no man's sky and hyper light drifter! Highly recommend them both, no man's sky is such a good space life sim and hyper light drifter is kind of like a throwback to the first Zelda game, but obviously updated and with some different intentions to the gameplay/story. Happy gaming!
Love me some outward. I still want to play that game. Magic system is super weird in particular. Can never talk friends into it though, it's the static map that scares them I think
