    Idk if its prejudice, I just find them boring. Been playing turn based games since the 90s, the idea of having to go through menus to resolve conflict is a thing of the past to me.

      That *is interesting. I love the nostalgia and I’m honestly burned out on action rpgs and open worlds.

        There is stuff I’d play for nostalgia reasons, but I wouldn’t pick up a new title because it feels like such a slog. But also these types of games rely heavily on dialogue, and I don’t want to spend hours reading a game, I want to play a game.

        I feel the same about 2D sidescrollers. They can’t really excite me anymore, because I’ve been playing them for 30 years.

        This is a me problem though. I’m not saying they are bad games. Just not for me and that’s fine.

        I like that turn based I can play for a second or for hours or anything in between especially with my steam deck where I can sleep it real easy and its easy to pick up and put down.
