Fans don’t want to cry while playing games anymore, it has been going on for a while now. Players want to laugh, not cry over Noble 6 and Joel’s death over and over again. These are some great games, but it’s time for humor to make its way back into people’s lives.
Sharing their thoughts on the reveal ofIndiana Jones and the Great Circle,one fan wrote:
Same. Make games funny again. This was a good use of humor.

Fans are happy with the shift in momentum from serious to funny and are looking forward to more humorous titles in the future.
The new wave of gaming
Gaming has always been an escape for most people, a medium of good storytelling for some, and a mode of enjoyment for others. In recent years, we have seen a rising seriousness in the themes undertaken by the developers; likeThe Last of UsandDeath Stranding.
They are fantastic games and are most enjoyable, but they drain you emotionally, and you share more tears than joy, which does cater rather well to some, but some others also want to laugh while playing a game.
It has been a long time since a game has been able to do whatIndiana Jones and the Great Circlemanaged, with just the trailer. It’s quirky and funny, and follows the journey of Indiana Jones as he unearths various artifacts from around the world—serious business if you ask me—, the game looks to be along these lines and hopefully this is reflected in the entirety of the game as well.
