10 Major Video Game Mistakes Of The 2010s The Next Gen Must Learn From

10. Adding Crafting To Everything

Look, we can all agree that Minecraft is a fantastic game that changed the game industry forever. That does not mean every game requires some element of crating.

It seems after the insane success of Minecraft that every developer is eager to cram crafting into their games. While in some scenarios this does make sense, ala Far Cry or Rust, there are some games that will have you confused as to why you have to collect parts to craft something.

Take for example The Witcher 3. While you can craft items and potions to fight monsters, is there really much point? You can get by without crafting potions most the time and the Witcher armour sets will always be better than what you craft.

Just because your game setting can suit a crafting system, doesn't mean it should be implemented. And if you do decide to add it to a game, try not to make it too obtrusive to the actual gameplay. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is arguably the best in the franchise, but everyone can probably agree some of the crafting requirements in the early game are nothing sort of frustrating.
