A lot of times the game is unplayably dark at the recommended setting.
Learned this hard while playing alien isolation, especially since my night vision has been going to shit. My eyes were watering while I was playing, it was so dark
What I found is that videogames, are usually tailored to the eyes of younger audiences. Young adults and teenagers. Typical "playing in dark room with only a screen illuminating" stuff.
As I grow older however, I found that I need my rooms lights to be turned on to be comfortably plsy, with my screens brightness turned up just slightly. I also much appreciate features that help with vision impairment despite having an otherwise perfectly fine working vision.
Yeh I kinda wonder if their ‘recommended’ setttings assumes you play in your bedroom with the lights all off inside a blanket fort.
Also, what is exactly is barely visible? Like do I need to baaaaaaarely see it? Or just barely see it, like a normal person?
