The depressing trend of skipping minigames

[Ghadius]

Why do games now all come with an "auto-solve"/"auto-skip" function in puzzle areas? I get it, there is little kids that are on sugar that don't wanna sit through them, but why does R&C or other games like Starfield have autosolves for their puzzles?
It's especially sad for R&C, cause the puzzles there are actual levels and you can just skip them and not just minigames like a lockpick function that autosolves and at least punishes you by using up more lockpicks (you can just autohack stuff in the Future games without punishment if I remember correctly).

If Insomniac is so ashamed of their puzzle levels, why even have them? You can legit skip all Clank levels in this if you want to. Think about Size matters, where Clank is half the game.

How do players of Rift feel about this? Tell me.

Because if you finished the game a hundred times and remember how tedious and time consuming the puzzles are, you have an option to skip them. Just how some games allow you to skip tedious and time consuming tutorials. I finished Rift Apart 3 times over. There is nothing challenging in the puzzles anymore. Combat is still fun because I can use different weapons to make things fresh. I can't solve a puzzle in many different ways, now can I?

[Ghadius]

But you can skip em right away, without even having to finish the game once.

I vaguely remember such option but I wanted to see what the puzzle is all about. To be entirely honest, they weren't the greatest, the most thought provoking puzzles I've seen in my life. And the plot behind them is sketchy at best.

On another note, from what I watched about the series on YouTube, it's more of a shooter with puzzles and platforming. I can see how some people might want to play it like shooter.

Well, it's boring, I don't buy ratchet and clank to play puzzles ♥♥♥♥♥...

Sorry to say that but this skip is so good for me, and if players want to play like this, nobody should come here to cry about it...

We take fun by playing like this, why is there always someone who come to trashtalk like that ??

Leave us alone, do your puzzle if you enjoy them, personnaly I don't.

[easy_going]

Nah, dude. I prefer when people come crying, as long as they have genuine issues with the game. That gives you another point of view, and shows you that there are different kinds of gamers wanting to play the same title.

Because people don't like them?

[Ghadius]

No need to get salty instantly.

I'm just wondering. Why have them, if they ain't proud of em and allow you to skip them. They could easly exclude them, if they add a skip function.

I feel bad about this game, the older R&C games that most people consider are way better than the new ones never had any skips as they were part of the game and there where actually many cool original moments like the black water city sewers run.
