The indie title about carrying an RV through a gauntlet of geographical obstacles is on its way to sell many million units, and I get why. Despite its simplicity, RV has a lot of what I’d originally hoped Death Stranding would be, and none of its bloat.
The maturation of platformers from the 2D of Mario and Sonic, to the 3D of Lara, and, well, also Mario, had a huge impact on me and on my love for games in general. The extra dimension, when combined with the graphical boost, naturally led to games that would benefit from a more grounded and realistic approach to platforming.
