I think, this was on my mind: pt.mezzo.moe/w/waYE4NkZGpqQ9qpW1th1ga?start=15m10…

I don’t know, with this example in particular, I find it quite disruptive, too, that there’s explanations of the game mechanics and then the character barges in with some funky expression and some rhethoric question à la “And then I’m that thing?”. Yeah, dude, did you not listen to the tutorial ghost explaining that just then?

In fairness, this is a game that’s pretty much story-first with a bit of puzzling in between. And it was only that Let’s Play that I saw; I would’ve almost certainly skipped that game, if I came across the store page, since I assume, it would’ve been obvious that it’s a story game.
Well, and also in fairness, this is a pretty fringe game. There’s a decent chance that it isn’t considered ‘good’ in other aspects either.

In general, I don’t want to be too critical. Not every game has to be for me. Well, most don’t have to be, since I don’t play an insane variety of games to begin with. But yeah, still just wanted to throw that into the conversation as a pet peeve of mine, since there’s (perhaps less egregious) examples of that in a variety of games.
