Lateralus Gaming

What's your opinion on the bullshit that's getting thrown out the door these days under the guise of an "Exploration game"
Notable examples: Submerged, No man's sky.
Submerged is this peice of **** game with a little girl for the kawaii factor. She sits on a boat and bobs around a flooded city. But wait...There's...No more. No combat? No enemies? You literally cannot even die. You climb these buildings and look at stuff. 14 quid plz.
No man's sky is on the fence.  You go to planets and do what? Apparently aliens chase you so there may be some excitement there. I can appreciate meaning and **** but if you read too deep into a game you apply meaning to **** that has no meaning. Like a kid on a boat looking at buildings.
