Yeah, there hasn't been a lot of innovation in the genre and what we have is often a buggy mess - that definitely doesn't help the adoption of 'deep strategy'. I love games like what you mentioned but even I get sick of them when I start running into AI or optimization issues, where games devolve into snowballing or boring tedium after the first few hours, when the UI is a frustrating mess that makes me hate every second spent on trying to make it work the way I need it to work.
Or maybe I'm just spoiled by the amount of polish and thought that goes into games like factorio or against the storm.
Any comparison is meaningless because for every bad thing you say, people will jump at you with the classic ol' "its still in development".
The fact is that it's buggy, crashes all the time and you lose progress, it can't be played like any actual existing MMO - it's a demo atm even if you ignore the common resets they do officially on major releases. Until it's actually released and can be decently reviewed from start to finish it can't even start to compare to an actual released, playable game.
Amazing and beautiful game, the only issue I have with endless * series is that the combat always falls short for me, but you can still easily get a few dozen fun hours out of it.
Never understood what people see in that game, it was like any basic ubisoft open world game - grindy, repetitive and filled with question marks to explore and "clear". The ground combat was exceptionally bad IIRC, I gave it up after ~6 hours.
Now if you got Bend Studio to work on a sequel... I'd be interested in that
Same experience here, it's a fun and entertaining movie. FR is still better but that is a perfect movie IMHO, it'd be next to impossible to match or beat it in any way
Lorca got me through discovery for a season or two and then he was gone, I don't think I watched anything beyond it. I hear it's only gotten worse, somehow
