I am a gamer, and while some of the games on the list are pretty innovative (Alien: Isolation and This War of Mine especially), some of the others make me wonder if Popular Mechanics knows what “innovative” means. Half of the games on the list were dyed-in-the-wool bog-standard examples of their genre, and while that doesn’t say anything about their quality (some of those bog-standard games like Tropical Freeze are actually pretty darn good) they are not in the least bit innovative.
The biggest offender is the inclusion of Advanced Warfare, which is palpably a rehash of the same game that they’ve been making for a decade now. I wonder whether an editor said, “We have to include this game or someone will be upset.”
No mention of “Kerbal Space Program”?
I think it has been out awhile, even if in Alpha… I play a few games, and I didn’t play any of the ones listed or have interest in them.
