9 Most Overdone Clichés In Modern Video Games

9. The Mysterious Overturned Cart

Witcher 3 definitely set this back in motion in 2015, and was rightfully praised for getting it right.

Since then however, many IPs distil this setup down to its barest steps. "Find overturned cart or vehicle, push button to inspect, track down NPC that didn't want to be found, reveal truth". Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey are stuffed full of these, and even Ghost of Tsushima fell prey to it a few times too.

Red Dead Redemption 2, Fallout 76, Kingdom Come: Deliverance - when the content itself isn't very rewarding, an arbitrary overturned cart feels like a dialogue interaction with extra steps.
