Food, welfare, camping activities, crafting (for survival items), healing components not related to in-battle use, etc etc etc.
Utterly banal and a massive distraction to why people play RPGs.
This trend seems to be growing rather than shrinking & I'm starting to feel ripped-off when I buy an RPG and it turns out to be not much more than a survival grinder with some stats attached. Genuinely ripped off.
Is it about time that games with a high content of this kind of crap are properly communicated as such and if so, what's the best way for sites like gog and steam to properly warn any potential customers that certain RPGs aren't actually RPGs but are just survival games with some rpg elements?
