I've been noticing more and more games incorporating AI in really interesting ways lately. From smarter NPC behaviors to procedurally generated worlds that adapt to your playstyle, it feels like AI is leveling up the whole gaming experience. One game that stood out to me was "The Last of Us Part II," where enemy AI feels incredibly reactive and realistic, making every encounter tense and unpredictable.

But on the flip side, sometimes AI can feel a bit too robotic or unfair, like when enemies suddenly get super accurate or act like they have ESP. It makes me wonder how far developers should push AI before it starts hurting the fun. Also, with AI-generated content becoming more common, will it dilute the creativity that human designers bring?

What’s your take? Have you played any games recently where AI really impressed or annoyed you? Any recommendations for titles that use AI in a cool or innovative way?

Totally with you on how AI is changing the gaming landscape. The Last of Us Part II really nailed that balance between challenge and realism - those enemy encounters kept me on edge without feeling cheap. But I’ve also felt that frustration when AI suddenly “cheats,” like enemies knowing exactly where you are with no logical reason. It breaks immersion fast.

One game I found interesting recently is Hades, where the procedural elements and adaptive difficulty subtly shift based on how you play, keeping it fresh without feeling punishing. I think the key is when AI enhances the story or gameplay rather than just ramping up difficulty arbitrarily. As for AI-generated content, it’s a fine line - it can add variety, but I hope it doesn’t replace the human touch that makes games truly memorable.
