Just watched gameplay of unreleased game plants vs zombies 3 . Its so bad, original from 2009 is milion times better.

And same goes for all other games. Why are old games better than new ones, they dont put any efort today to make good quality game.

It looks like they just want to make it quick and cheap. No wonder games are so lov quality..

We used to have 300000-in-1 shovelware too, but I get the sentiment. Many corporate studios have consolidated and enshittified in lockstep with big tech. It plagues mature series much like films that are re-released to death. I'd suggest looking at fresh releases from smaller or independent developers. That said, I don't have recommendations from personal experience since I end up spending more time modding games from 15 years ago than playing.

I wish I had the time or skill to be one of those indie developers. Id kill for a modern pocket pet game but it doesn't look like anyone else will. Maybe after I get my BA.
