Could be a genre, a developer/publisher, or franchise. What’s the video game equivalent of fast, not particularly good, but maybe a guilty pleasure?

    You’re allowed to not like the game, but “fast food?” It’s a massive RPG with AAA production and hundreds of hours of content.

    “Fast food” would be short/shallow experiences that are just designed to be addictive like clicker games.

      Agree to disagree

      Cyberpunk have clear gamification mechanics in it but that’s not the point.

      Fast food food are easy to digest with low effort production, Cyberpunk don’t try to incentivize something new, it used mechanics that we have seen a hundred of times and clear story beats for all its plot points.

      Don’t get me wrong, you’re allowed to have fun with it but there’s nothing new in there

        You’re clearly missing the point of OP’s post. This has nothing to do with novelty or creativity.

        A steak isn’t original or avant-garde, but it’s certainly isn’t “fast food” even if you think the steak is cooked poorly.

        I think you’re just conflating “shallow” with “bad”.
