FPS games. It’s too repetitive
All games are repetitive by nature. But the best games, in my opinion, are the ones that do a good job of hiding their repetitiveness.
In a strategy game, for example, as you move through the tech tree you get ranged units, or siege units, or AoE units. The new unit types let you approach each phase of the game differently. But the core loop is still “build a base, kill the enemy.”
In an FPS, you might have weapons that do different types of damage, or that are launched differently (arcing arrows, thrown grenades, etc.) but the core loop is still “find the enemy, aim the crosshair, shoot to kill.”
For some people, the strategy repetition feels like losing all progress and starting over every 30 minutes. For some, the FPS repetition feels like nothing more than “clicking on heads.” For others, there’s enough variety in mechanics, story, or other elements that the repetition is masked so it feels fun rather than tedious.
TL;DR: All games are repetitive. Not all games FEEL repetitive. Depends on what you like.
