Always wondered why all their high concept/high art games (Greedfall, A Plague's Tale, Evil West, and now Atomic Heart) felt kinda cheap and shallow under the hood.

Damn, the industry is a mess :(

I like A Plague's Tale so that's a shame.

It's very, very tough for AA games to make money now unfortunately.

It can be sort of done if the games are simple enough like a retro sidescroller or a boomer shooter but a full fledged 3D game on an outsourced engine...yeah it is.

Guessing it's not enough programmers and time to afford employees to clean things up before a launch window. Hence the cheap factor.

Yeah, it's a shame. Seems more and more that you either have to go AAA or go indie, and there's little middle ground.

Unless you're Nintendo and can afford to make AA games because you don't have to shoot for multiple platforms and state-of-the-art hardware.
