What game mechanics do you enjoy or that surprised you when playing a game? I recently started playing Tunic and I love building out the "manual" for the game and getting hints on how to play.

Subnautica was the first survival-crafting game I played and I became obsessed in large party because of how finally tuned crafting and progression was. Now I keep trying a bunch of other similar games hoping they grip me like Subnautica, but they never come close. No Man's Sky was closest but it's too big and unfocused. I went from repairing my little broken ship to owning an entire freighter in like 2 hours.

Much like how I keep buying racing games hoping something will click like the old burnout games, I'm coming to realize I don't think I like the genre that much, I just liked that one special entry within it.

Have you tried Forza Horizon? I haven't been invested in a racing game as much as that one since NFS Underground 2. YMMV but I think it's pretty much the pinnacle of Arcade style racing games.

I actually have heard that before and have wanted to try! Unfortunately I've only had playstation consoles with the exception of the 360. I was actually planning on eventually getting a series x or s to play their exclusive stuff (particularly from Arkane), but if things keep turning out like Redfall I may reconsider.
