Which video games from the last 5 years do you expect to age poorly? (hexbear.net)

Some games from the past play a lot worse in hindsight than others. What recent, decently-liked video games do you expect to suffer this curse?

It feels almost AI generated. Like just pastiche of various popular online games with pokemon-like creatures. It's almost weird that it's like an indie passion project

I'm going to boot up the copy I torrented earlier because I heard it was way less jank than most crafting games.

I played it for a few hours last night and it's genuinely impressive how well everything works together, it's all derivative of popular stuff but that's most games since as far back as video games have been a thing. Just as a survival game I don't think Ark plays as smooth after a decade or however long it's been out.

I don't care for survival games so I'm sick of hearing about it so damn much, but I think I still respect it

it's like the apotheosis of all our dumb middle school game ideas

Yeah I don't usually care for survival games but I'll probably play it for a few weeks at least. Does take a lot of the tedium out of the genre when you get a fleet of Pikachus running over to craft your stuff or cartoon elephants watering the garden.
