Microsoft’s acclaimed new game Avowed promises to “respect the player’s time” – it is nowadays exceptional

On video games There is a problem: they are too long.

The Washington Post saysthat the hardest part in today’s games is to find time to pass them.

Gamecentral to write Games are like an epic monster that is impossible to combine with normal life.

On the other hand, social media is the first to come across inquiries about the length of the new games.

The problem has been chewed in the industry for years. Game development costs more than ever, there is enough competition and the price cannot be raised. At the same time, the audience expects more ambitious and broader than ever. In order to get the giant budgets back, games must sell millions of copies.

The simple fact is complicated. When you have to put up to a hundred hours on one adventure, how many people see it?

Games compete for time. And there are plenty of alternatives to exercise for streaming services.

BBC’s silent story deals with the problem backlogin through. The term refers to the stack of purchased but unplayable games that is waiting for attention. In reality, the pile grows.

The story is an example of the popularity of the game, which began in 2007 Assassin’s Creedaction adventure series. History of the previous parts of the game that perceived the assassinations lasted 25-30 hours when fresh Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (2020) requires 60 to 100 hours.

As a problem are not long, but over -long games like Assassin’s Creed represent.

Today, the industry is roughly divided into AAA games, or risk-free large-scale production and smaller-scale experimental indie games. The AA-class games between the AA have disappeared, although they provided a fascinating ingenuity.

Playstation Studios former Director Shuhei Yoshida told Sacred Symbols in fresh podcastthat the AA market disappeared in the last decade.

However, the change is visible.

To last year’s top games leapland Astro Bot is a perfect example of AA game. That is, when the budget and the broadness of the world are scaled down and invested in the amount of imagination. In this way, Sony invested in the way it originally built a reputation of Playstation.

New The model is now available from Microsoft. It produces a fantasy role -playing game Avowed arrived for PC and Xbox Series with a special promise.

Avowedin Created Studio Obsidia Entertainment swears to respect the player’s time. Unlike the genre, the game passes in ten hours. However, if you want to find more to explore in the world.

Avowed Looks like an exciting and deep adventure that is free but controlled. The sections of the menus to fighting and discussion for character development have been trimmed. For example, the world is not uniform but divided into pieces.

This often focuses on the value of the open world games: good field design.

Just Crafting skills lies in the attractiveness of games during artificial intelligence. Art does not come from marketing research, but that creative people can do what they want and surprise. This creates an interesting, unforgettable expression. And it is hardly forcibly expanded.
