If we want videogames to be treated like a serious works of art, we need to have games that push the envelope, and move the medium in uncharted and sometimes uncomfortable territory. Games like Silent Hill 2, Shadow of the Colossus, Witcher 3 or Fatter.
Fatter is a game about inherently human experience - eating junk food and farting, while avoiding disgusting vegetables like broccoli. While at the first glance it might seem as “dumb” or “primitive” it is, in fact, an accurate depiction of what most of the humanity was doing during 2020’s pandemic.
And let me tell you - Metal Gear Solid 2 was also misunderstood after its launch.
