Game are not inherently immature. The mainstream gaming culture sure is , but nobody force it on ourself.

I'm currently playing Transistor. I wont finish it. That's sad cause that's exactly the kind of game I like: Tactical turn based combat and heavy stat customization RPG.

The game failed me on this 2 point. The customization is very bland. Most function just give the same bonus with whatever you pair them. And despite strong game changing function like Stealth or Switch (enemy become friend for some time), in the end you'd better use your most damage/turn_cost function.

Now I just I play for the narrator, but he also become kind of annoying. That so much you can convey by alluding at a deeper secret without ever revealing anything of importance. And snarky tone one liner become boring after hundred of the same.

The visual may be cool -probably a subjective element, I liked the Banner Saga art-style way much- But you're stuck on railroad tiny tiny level . You cant even do 2 'jump' ( move function, or -Q- planting) without bumping on a fence. I hate the claustrophobic feeling with tiny level, I hate bumping, that probably the main reason I hate 3D game (always end up bumping on a wall, a tree, or a table). And the reason I see no good things coming out of Virtual reality gadget. Cramped tiny VR ! Bref, no Transistor for me, nor Shadorun Return (same railroad story), nor Faster than Light . I still like the Banner Saga better.
