Playing HOB now. Fun game but not very compelling.

Its hard to describe, but something about this game doesn't feel right. It is interesting enough visually. The game has a variety of things to do and abilities to gain.

But it feels very pointless or generic. It really feels like just going through the motions of playing a game. Go here, pull this lever, turn that gear, open that door, go to the next area repeat. now theres a platform that zaps you to that platform and onward for about 4 90 degree turns. Now you land over here and pull another lever. There is no impetus to do the things you do other than its the next step forward. I know the story (if there is one) will reveal it self. I've played numerous games recently that don't explicitly tell you the story, but I felt something right away... a mystery or something: Inside , Little Nightmares, Limbo. And i just came off quite a whopper of an epic tale in Horizon Zero Dawn.

This game is pretty decent, and i will keep playing it cause its not boring. But it doesnt create a lot of... i dunno how to describe it, the video game equivalent of "suspension of disbelief"

I am wholly aware i'm just sitting on the couch pushing buttons on a piece of plastic. Anyone else playing the game I haven't seen any posts about it since it launched except for the guy that had the glitch.
