How about the ingenuity that was very visible in Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey. It's a game that challenges a player to reconnect with how man evolved till date.
The last time I took an inventory of my games backlogs, the physical games that I'm yet to play was 107 games and the digital games should be around 211.
Seriously - The feeling that comes with having to witness that decay of our society being pictured in games like it's a point where we might get to in the future can't be overlooked easily.
Basically mods are supposed to give a better and improved gaming experience when it's used but in a situation where they turn the game into something that can't be recognized in relation to its initial uniqueness, it makes a mess of everything.
Yeah - it's actually why when any gameplay becomes repetitive which makes it very boring, it loses any grasp on any objective which most times makes me move on from such games.
It's more or less like they are exploiting a particular line of their loyal customers and everyone in general because if push comes to shove, they will still be patronized.
