I have played and enjoyed a lot of AAA games over the years. God of War, The Last of Us 1 & 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, the new DOOM games, Battlefield 6, and pretty much any other popular AAA game you can think of over the last five years. You know what my top games are in terms of playtime? Stardew Valley, Factorio, and Rimworld. And it’s not even close.
Stardew, Factorio, and Rimworld have certain qualities that make long playtimes more likely. But that doesn’t inherently make them more valuable experiences, imho.
I think that Last of Us 1 and 2 are masterpieces. But I’ve only played them once each, and that’s okay.
Which is definitely fair. I’m just saying that just because I can’t afford a 5090 doesn’t mean I won’t be able to play games. Sure, I won’t be able to play GTA VI but I can still play thousands of other games.
