Platforming: Morphite will feature platforming elements in order to explore new landscapes and structures.Besides their individual beauty, visiting planets will prove vital for gathering resources, researching creatures, and gaining skills towards strengthening your character. Procedurally generated universe: Morphite features tons of generated planets to discover, all with their own flora and fauna.

Inside Myrah’s vessel, players will engage in random encounters with real-time space combat, trade with other travelers across the galaxy and navigate outer space with Morphite’s easy-to-use Starmap system. With the help of a scanner, Myrah will sell biological information for ship, suit and weapon upgrades. Myrah will voyage to the furthest corners of space and explore uncharted procedurally-generated planets, each with diverse landscapes and teeming with exotic flora and fauna. This is the story of Myrah Kale, a young woman whose life takes a sudden turn when a simple mission develops into an epic interstellar journey revealing her mysterious past and relation to a coveted substance called Morphite. But overall, I feel like it's much like anything else - best not to focus too hard on them, and best to just enjoy them for what they are.Morphite is a casual atmospheric FPS, set in a low poly stylized universe. I also like how in games like Fallout 3, they are used to denote all the biggest sidequests. I feel like achievements are a cool way to point out neat things you can do in a game, though, things you might not do, or know to do, otherwise. I do like how trophies on PSN increase your account level, as I'm a fan of RPGs, but when I go into a game these days, I go into it achievement-blind, and whatever I unlock throughout the way is just what I happen to unlock. It's just better for me overall, and now my enjoyment of a game doesn't feel so incredibly dictated. So nowadays, I've kinda discarded my whole achievement-focused mentality when I play games. I stopped the game and never finished it, even though I was near the end. When I realized I had missed the achievement, it felt almost heartbreaking. Eventually I would get too anxious that I was missing something, and I'd have to keep checking my guides obsessively just to keep that feeling at bay, spending way more time in the guides than in the game - and sometimes I would just not even start a game or finish one in progress because the stress was just too much.Īs an example, I remember missing an achievement in Eternal Sonata, a game which, up to that point, I had been enjoying quite a lot. I have mild OCD, and the whole achievement hunting thing began to play with my anxiety level a bit too much - before I began a game, I'd have to sit down, read through guides, make a plan of what to do, then keep checking my guides every so often to make sure I didn't miss something and ruin my playthrough.

I even used guides religiously to make sure I could 100% a game the first time through.īut as the years went on, I found that that way of thinking and completing games had become a bit toxic for me. I used to use things like x360Achievements to keep track of achievement news, which was kinda cool sometimes - occasionally you'd see lists posted for a game before it had been released, and some achievements would give away spoilers or surprises in the game that hadn't been announced yet (I remember Black Ops being a big one here), so that was kinda neat. I enjoyed them for a good few years, to be honest. It's not one of the things that actually made me buy a 360, but it was a feature that I greatly looked forward to when I was making my purchase. I thought the idea was really cool when the 7th gen was starting out. It's so common that it's become background noise to me.īut I wanna hear what your experiences are, or what you think about the state of achievements/trophies today. These days I feel like it's a bit of an overload, I've got them on Xbox, PS4, Steam, and WoW among other things. I wasn't a huge fan of their implementation back then so I'd turn off notifications wherever I could and I never saw the appeal of 'completing' a game by getting 100% of the achievements. My personal views on this are that I've lost total interest in them. How would you feel if future games platforms distanced itself from having a ton of achievements? Were you once a compulsive achievement/trophy hunter and do you still practice that today?ĭo achievements add anything of value to modern games? It's been about 10 or so years now since they've been a thing and I'm hoping people can share their feedback on what they think about achievements today in 2016. I've been thinking a lot about achievements lately.
