The Games Industry Thinks You’re Stupid - Marvel's Wolverine

Marvel’s Wolverine has me asking one question: why do modern AAA games treat players like they’ve never held a controller? Apparently, even thinking needs a button prompt now. From excessive hand-holding and shallow combat to forced walking sections and constant cutscenes, this video breaks down a frustrating trend in modern gaming: bigger budgets with less room to explore, experiment, and figure things out yourself. Using Marvel’s Wolverine as the starting point, we look at Insomniac’s game design, God of War Ragnarök’s puzzle hints, Uncharted’s pacing, and what X-Men Origins: Wolverine offered back in 2009. Why does giving players more freedom seem so difficult when these games cost so much to make? What’s the worst example of hand-holding you’ve experienced in a game? Drop it in the comments.
