Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game

  I’ve been over the hero shooter fad for almost a decade. Where are the actually new ideas for the genre?

    I think Deadlock is pretty up there. That said, it’s closer to Smite than it is a hero shooter. The community-driven character builds mean meta is pretty fluid and it has what I would describe as a very accessible MOBA-centered design. I don’t care for MOBAs much, but to say Valve isn’t innovating here would be disingenuous. I think my only problem with it is that it’s lacking something that makes the gameplay loop feel satisfying, but that may just be my bias against MOBAs talking.

      I haven’t played Smite since it came out, but has it really changed that much that it’s no longer a hero shooter? It’s Hi-Rez’s knock-off of Overwatch. 🤨

        Smite was not that much of hero shooter, Paladins from the same company was a hero shooter.
