Niche you said ?

Obviously not the same game but these mecanics can be part of a sucessfull game if it's well designed and if it serve the purpose.

Having """'survival"""" mecanics is good for ambiance and feelings given by the game (feelings of a dangerous World in which you have to survive and be prepared).

Many """ because we're just initialy talking about ammo management, not food, drink....

Everything is not black or white. Sometimes grey is a good solution but I don't really think Larian care/can do immersive games. Which is bad for Baldur's Gate 3.
