Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

Not quite a setting, but every game should be required to tell you how long ago the last save was when you quit the game. I absolutely don’t understand why it’s only a tiny minority of games that does this, it is such an obvious thing to do

Like a timestamp on the save?

  I’m thinking specifically when you exit the game, and it says “Are you sure? All progress since you last saved will be lost”, it should just have an additional “(last saved 2 minutes ago)” line in there. I think the recent Spiderman games did that, iirc

    Ah yeah, then absolutely. Warning you that you may be fucking up and then having you quit on faith is an insane move by a dev.

    Yeah exactly, but more often than not that’s exactly what happens, it’s infuriating

  Well yes and no. Stellar Blade for example. When you click exit to desktop it pops up the usual unsaved data will be lost stuff but also has a timer below it showing when the last save was made

I like this, and I think it should be complemented with a “Save and Quit to OS” button.
