There is an entire generation of gamers entering adulthood that are still very much fans of gaming, but are no doubt beginning to feel somewhat disillusioned by it. Not because they've lost their passion for this hobby and not because they don't enjoy playing anymore, but because all the years that have gone by have revealed many game developer's tricks. They can see many of their moves coming from a mile away.
Rust's naval update has added boat building to the survival sandbox, allowing players to sail to a dangerous deep sea.

Seven titles are set to leave Xbox Game Pass on January 31, including Citizen Sleeper 2, Starbound, and Orcs Must Die Deathtrap.
I’ll finish citizen sleeper 1 tonight. I guess if I plow through I may be able to finish part 2 before it leaves!

DayZ's latest console update seems tiny, but datamined files reveal what Bohemia is really preparing for 2026. Here's what players missed.
Rust is so... Bleh right now. So far the only game that's ever felt brand new every time would be DayZ Standalone. Of course there's the dull re- loot towns, but at least the banditry can be interesting. There are plenty of great DayZ moments on YouTube. Any rust videos I see they are either pampered by fans or they are killed by another player simply because they can. And that's sorta the problem with both of these games. Now for starbound.. Well I haven't played that yet. Looked cool, but I'll have to look into what I see as a Terraria 2.
Great article, and one that I very much relate to.
