It sounds like a medical topic on a medical forum but I'm curious to see if there's more to my "issue" than what most will think. Let's make things immediately clear: my eyesight is still good and I don't have need of lens or glasses atm. I've been playing games for decades now, finished FF7r few days ago, Death Stranding before it and many more games in the last months without issues. Any kind of game, graphics and visual styles (even VR on Oculus Quest!). Yet, once in a while, luckily very rarely, I find myself playing games that are very hard to look at and makes me easily tired. What I don't understand is the reason for it. It happens with games that fill up the screen with TOO MANY objects and details with a not clear use of colors, shades and such. The current case is The Outer Worlds and my god, is this game difficult for everyone else here to see "through"? There's really too much on screen for my eyes to be at relax. The enviroments are too detailed, specially outside the first town. I mean FF7 is even more graphically impressive and running on the same engine yet the style is so perfect that everything is clean and easy to read and look at. While here I have to seriously focus to distinguish every single object from each other one, in a complete mess of washed out colors and contrasts, making me easily tired. Why does this happen? It's important to state that I'm not talking of subtitles (token to the possibility to make the fonts bigger btw) and that I'm playing on a 55 inches.
I also like to state that generally the more is not the better, sometimes a clean visual style is all that needed and filling up the enviroment with millions of details doesn't improve the overall aspect. I always find myself more at conform with less realistic looking enviroment and characters with style over complexity. In any case, I wanted to ask if this is common for some of you or I'm the only one having these experiences with rare games.
