I think some people might have missed OP's point: there's nothing wrong with these types of games, it's just that it's becoming the norm and maybe tired at this point.

I myself have no problem with it.

The ending was disappointing in how it was delivered. I think what they went with could have worked if it wasn't done in a way that felt rushed and anti-climatic. So many unanswered questions, so many dropped plot threads.

There's nothing to be excited about. We don't know what it is or what games will be on it.

Pokemon's gone on too long, it needs to end already.

Maybe this video will provide some insight as to why Uncharted is as revered as it is.

• Final Fantasy XV
• Ni No Kuni II
• The Last Guardian
• Horizon Zero Dawn

Yeah, it's been on my "to buy" list ever since it was announced. So I definitely plan to get it, but I think I'll wait for a sale.

Clementine, even though I preferred her portrayal when she wasn't a protag

@tigropl Went browsing through my app history. These are all the cartoony-looking games I have ever played, with a low word count. I recommend the website Nitrome for casual, cute, aesthetically pleasing pixel-y flash games. All of the below suggestions are mobile games that might also have PC versions, but I'm not sure. If your friend doesn't mind playing casual cute games on a mobile device then this is the jackpot.

• Cut the Rope
• Monument Valley
• Alphabear
• Beneath the Lighthouse
• Ice Breakers
• The Path to Luma (more artsy than cartoony I guess)
• Attack the Light
• Deemo
• Jetpack Joyride
• Scribblenauts Remix
• Katamari Amore
• Robotek
• Temple Run

The original 2D Sonic the Hedgehog... I think that speaks for itself.
