    Every game is bland. Nothing is ever wholey unique. It takes elements from other things.

    Whats the last “non-bland” game you’ve played?

      I’m sorry you feel that way.

      This might have been a bad time for you to ask, because I just finished Outer Wilds.

        I was largely being sarcastic. Yeah, Outer Wilds might be the only game that pretty much does it’s own thing I’ve played in many years.

        I’ve been playing The Finals a lot for quite a while now. I would say it’s incredibly innovative and unique. However, it’s still a first person shooter based on capturing an objective point. At its core, it’s derivative. The way everything fits together is unlike anything else though. Just listing features that are shared by other games does not mean it isn’t doing something different.
