I've recently become addicted to exploring Hollow Knight and Silksong, and I realized I love this feeling in games like Terraria and Don't Starve Together, too. I can't quite put my finger on what exactly draws me to it.

I love venturing into the unknown, discovering strange places, gathering resources, uncovering lost civilizations or bits of lore, and wondering what's around the next corner. I also love the early game in Civ 6, when the world is still unexplored. Bonus points if base-building is involved.

Any games that scratch that same itch?

For example Mario and Kirby 1 ups are pretty pointless because the games are easy and 1 ups are abundant. But a game like mega man 1 ups actually feel valuable

I've been thinking about starting a game review/discussion blog (or youtube, unsure) to talk about games I really like and give thorough reviews and wanted to ask other gamers what kinds of content they'd find helpful in a review.

I.e. cost, art style, thoughts on specific areas or aspects of a game, play time, personal enjoyment

I was thinking about buying RE Requiem but I feel like every RE game is kinda the same.
Is it worth to play
I am looking for smth that I can replay a lot and have many hours in.

Will Physint be the last big budget AAA game in the industry that doesnt rely on AI? (Fan art by me). Physint and a few other games feel like the last wave of real AAA games before AI takes over the industry completely.

I recently saw someone playing skate 3 in augmented reality. Gaming as we know it is about to change.
