>>Everything since 2018 that I have played has been relatively easy to guess the plot line
Be honest- you guessed the plot of Claire Obscure before you got to Act 3? Or the plot of Death Stranding 1 & 2 before you finished them?
What kind of games have you played since 2018? Because yeah, there is a lot of predictable cookie cutter AAA games out there, sure. But each year there are games which are surprising in their storytelling, same as somehow there are still new and surprising films despite film being much older than gaming. Not to mention books.
Anyone who didn’t guess the ‘plot twists’ of Clair Obscur at least 10 hours in advance wasn’t paying enough attention to even remember how to spell the title of the game. It’s structurally extremely standard if you’ve played Dark Souls and more than a couple of 90s JRPGs, and its foreshadowing is about as subtle as being hit in the face with a stale baguette.
I didn't realize until Act 3 what the real story was, and to be honest I don't really understand how anyone could. But maybe I'm just not good enough to understand all these subtle themes :-P
Yup, town plagued by supernatural, everyone depressed, just another Ubisoft title they could have had but didn’t.
By Act 2 the story was already falling apart. The game just leaves you feeling depressed. I guess since you felt something that makes it GOTY.
Ok, this was a pretty well-done troll, you totally had me until this.
No troll, I paid full price. Expedition 33 wasn’t well written.

Ok, so you haven't played it then. I mean just say so, instead of making things up?
You can’t make up The Paintress. Awful writing.

... Yes? I mean, the games are not that subtle. Lore dump, sly smile, more game, repeat.
