I am currently trying to get used to a game called Song of Syx. It is a lone indie developer, and it's a very cool city/empire builder.
I think the game is pretty good, but honestly, the barrier to entry is just extraordinarily high. I've spent 5 hours with it over the last 6 months or so, and I just can't figure out a lot of basic stuff.
I bring this up because it seems like this happens a lot these days. There is wonderful complexity and features that those of us who don't love AAA titles crave. And generally I couldn't care less about graphics, as long as they are clear.
But what seems to be lacking is a portal of entry into these really deep games. They generally don't have a manual, and often the tutorial is either lacking or perhaps even absent.
The new mode of learning these games seems to be discord-a medium that for some reason I just cannot consistently navigate. And when I do, since the information is coming from third party sources, one never knows if it is accurate or not. Folks seem awfully comfortable with 'answering' a question with a guess or opinion while presenting it as a fact. I can't imagine why(ego?), but there you have it.
I really don't mind in depth games-I love this one for instance, and there's a lot more depth to WP than a lot of 'reviewers' give it credit. I'd just like a means to learn about said depth.
