I had a profound experience whilst playing this game with a group of friends the other day, an experience that seems to have happened to some other reviewers on steam. This game made me feel stupid for playing games, I realized, when you break it down to its purest form, that games are nothing more than executing functions in a script and seeing some colors on a screen that are hopefully enticing enough to bring a dopamine rush to my feeble human brain, and I've been blind to this for years. So why am I still playing games and logging them here? Why do I consciously recognize what games are but still waste time on them? Even recently, I started playing FF14 which, by all means, is virtually the same thing as this. You go from one NPC to the next so that you can level up and endlessly work towards something you'll never achieve. I personally spend more time looking at the map so I know which marker I have to move towards to rush through some dialogue for a random side quest, which is literally what this game does. I think, more than anything, that Open World Game: The Open World Game is a work of art, it breaks this hobby of ours down to its purest form and exposes it for what it truly is.
