And if not?! No problem, we can check out hundreds of guides and walk throughs on the internet.
I was just checking a guide for Baldurs Gate 3, feeling attacked😁😁You are very right in what you say. Right now we don't really pay attention to the motivations of the characters in the games, the depth of the conversations, and what they want. We're just trying to get the most powerful sword, the most powerful weapon, and get the game over as soon as possible. We have become a consumer society and everything is moving very fast. It is possible to finish a game that should normally take 20 hours in 10 hours. But this time we say the game was not good. Well, you haven't played the story they want to tell? You wandered around aimlessly and something happened to you. 😁
You make it easier, so that someone can play a quick round at night, and when work or family calls, you quickly save you progress and continue later.
Some games have so much immersion it is impossible to turn off and return to the real world. (Witcher 3, Baldurs Gate, Cyberpunk, Gris, Divinity, Assassin's Creed, Dying Light...)
But there are a lot of good games that do what you say, episodic games. For example, Life is Strange. It's excellent. I am still playing The Wolf Among Us, it started great. 👍👏
