After the success of Insomniac's Spider-Man, it seems like everyone is jumping on the Marvel/DC game bandwagon.
I personally don't care for licensed super hero games. I want some original games that aren't available in any other media format. I don't mind stuff like Infamous because it's not Marvel or DC and doesn't already have movies and comic books.
I know I don't have to buy them or like every game, but why does it feel like there are so many of them out or in development?
We have Spider-Man, Miles Morales, Marvel Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy and soon Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine.
The only games I'm really looking forward to are Horizon and Forspoken.
I've played Spider-Man and Miles Morales on PS5 since those were basically the only PS5 exclusives in 2020 (not a fan of Souls games) and they weren't terrible, but I didn't enjoy them other than the pretty visuals. Then I bought Guardians of the Galaxy because I keep hearing good things about it, but I got bored with it very quickly. The jokes aren't even funny and that little raccoon thing is super annoying with "flark this and flark that".
Sorry about the rant. I just wish there were more video games that aren't based on movies and comic books, but I get it... it's "safe" since they already know people will like them.
Time to stop being "safe" and do something new. Where are the new IPs like Uncharted back in the day and Horizon? Where's this generation's Infamous or Dead Space?
