Game Overload: The Dark Side of Too Many Games
An abundance of thrilling games, from Dead Space and Resident Evil 4 Remake to Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom, has flooded the gaming landscape this year But are these numerous offerings a blessing or a curse?
2023 has been filled with a constant stream of hit games, ranging from Dead Space and Resident Evil 4 Remake to Starfield, Final Fantasy XVI, Baldur's Gate, and Tears of the Kingdom. The gaming industry is flourishing with an abundance of incredible titles, and there are even more on the horizon. While it's exhilarating to have access to such a wide selection of amazing games, it begs the question: are we fully able to enjoy and appreciate the games we purchase when we're constantly juggling multiple titles or swiftly moving from one massive game to the next? Additionally, what happens to the smaller games that don't receive the same amount of attention and recognition?
In this week's Spot On, hosts Tam and Lucy explore why games always seem to release simultaneously, the downsides of this trend, and strategies to combat choice paralysis. They also delve into methods of discovering and supporting lesser-known games that may not be in the spotlight.
Spot On, a weekly news show that airs on Fridays, features Our Website's managing editor Tamoor Hussain and senior producer Lucy James as they discuss the latest developments in the world of gaming. With the ever-evolving and never-ending news cycle of the vast video game industry, there is always a multitude of topics to delve into. Unlike most other news shows, Spot On focuses on one particular subject in depth rather than simply recapping all the news. Tune in every Friday for Spot On.
We would like to extend our gratitude to Crowsmack for providing the amazing artwork that adorns the set of Spot On. To check out more of his incredible work, visit his website.
