    start game

    go from A to B

    press button/scan object

    go from B to C

    solve 3rd grade puzzle

    go from C to D

    scan object and defend while npc does things

    optionally sneak from D to E

    repeat until the game is over

    And the best part is, I’m sure nobody even knows what game I’m talking about, but they think they might have it narrowed to 3 or 4.

    Some of my favorite games on the planet are literally “wander around opening doors” and “go to a place to solve simple puzzles, press some buttons, and don’t die”

      live in point A

      something calls someone away to point B

      in order to change it back they have to sacrifice something important

      return to point A

      they are changed as well

      and the best part nobody even knows which story I’m talking about

      watch dogs comes to mind first, just because of the 3rd grade puzzle part

      I was gonna say it couldn’t be Hunt Showdown, but it actually fits pretty well, minus the friendly NPC. Start game, collect clues, fight the boss, wait for the banish and try to defend, then take the boss token to the extract, all while trying not to die from enemy players. Of course the enemy players make it exciting, and I guess that’s why I’m not that into single player games.

      How else can you create a good player experience while not alienating casual players though?
