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?

    Elden Ring, Horizon Zero Dawn and it’s sequel forbidden west, Starfield, and every cookie cutter Ubisoft open world game and their clones. The new Call Of Duty and Battlefield games are also going to age really badly, just rebooting 10+ year old titles (modern warfare and 2042) will age poorly.

    Elden Ring is a great game, but it going to be a lot of people’s first experience with a fromsoft game, and they are not for everyone. The horizon games are more tech demos than video games, and the less said about cookie cutter open world games, the better.

      Any game that uses the Ubisoft exploration method of going somewhere to reveal icons on a map like Horizon or Breath of the Wild has already aged badly.

      It was super cringe that even Spider-Man had to go around NYC activating towers. Although Spider-Man, Horizon and BotW are already over five years old, so technically outside of this thread.
