Deus Ex: Human Revolution was one of many titles to be inspired by System Shock 2. This included taking certain elements of the game such as how it handled inventory space. At the start of the game, players may feel quite limited as they can only hold a certain amount of weapons and other items, though upgrading themselves they will unlock even more spaces on the grid qwstnevrythg.com.
Moonlighter has many roguelike elements that make the player’s inventory limited. They are unable to pick up numerous items as this would make earning money far too easy, especially since the character the player controls is also a shopkeeper who gets their goods from going down in the dungeons.
I’d give an honourable mention, too, to Outward. Overall I’m not a fan of the game, but I liked what it was going for with its super grounded take on travelling across a fantasy world. One idea I thought was cool was that your inventory is a physical object—a big bag on your back—that’s cumbersome and awkward to wear in combat. If you want to dodge around freely, you have to take it off and stash it somewhere safe before the fight. It definitely gives your inventory a bit more presence in the world, and there’s a nice tension to having to be apart from it at key moments.
Rensje: One of the most entertaining inventory systems I have ever used in a game is that of Astroneer. The space-based survival game doesn’t have the most original premise, but its almost Playmobil-like art style and tactile world are quite unique.
