KF1 was awesome. KF2 really stepped up the graphics... but then the enshittifcation began with DLC and adding pay-to-win content.

Because of that, I totally lost interest in KF3.

I also miss the gritty, dark, isolated atmosphere that KF1 had. I still had my fun with KF2, but when they introduced robot enemies, sci-fi weapons, and generally goofier cosmetics, it killed some of what made the games feel special

Yeah, KF2 has a different "feel" to it for sure.

Speaking of enshittification, I tried out Payday 1 again... it's so awesome to get in the game and play. Payday 2, as with KF2, went the way of DLC and presented the game as more of a marketing vector, rather than a product for entertainment.

The gaming industry really sucked the joy out of gaming with some of their decisions, and they only have themselves to blame.
