Funny that gameplay-wise, AAA games are the least interesting IMO.

I play AAA games for the narrative now.

As the current AAA games are as playable as mediocre movies, and the movies themselves are nothing but soulless remakes, I'd prefer to get some public domain comic books from https://comicbookplus.com and get some stories from Ditko, the non-superhero based ones, but the ones from mistery/scifi themes, kinda like a comic version of The Twilight Zone.

On proper gaming, most AAA games are lacking against Slashem, IF, csokoban and casual and libre games like Trigger Rally where the playability it's just there, even if the graphics are two decades behind.

Yes, I do agree that books are superior.

But sometimes at the end of the day when I am tired, I just want to play something mindless and not that challenging.
