In a single sentence, that is the reason for my scorn towards modern ‘game’ development.

I wasn’t something I really laid out in my mind, but I had known the Souls games were pretty good at giving a sense of accomplishment. I just wasn’t so certain on why, until now.

This has always been my experience with the Souls titles, and part of why I’ve been so enamored with it. It also never really occurred to me until now that the failure of most rpg-styled mechanics is stripping you of any real gameplay agency. Numbers are all that matter, and there’s no way to be skilled enough to compensate, outside of the Souls games presently.
