It is refreshing to see the advent of indie games like Mechanic Watermelon. It seems that with so much focus on high graphics and realism, game developers don’t have the time or energy left to focus more on gameplay. However, with the age of ultra high realism, game developers seem to be moving away from the basic game mechanics, and games are more like playing a real-life character than about strategy.
That said, of course modern graphical games have their merit, and ultra-realistic graphics are pretty cool too. In an age of Call of Duty and Skyrim, modern games often tend to focus more on graphics than game mechanics and gameplay.
