I've heard it was an important game historically (like doom) but I've never seen it much in retro gaming.
Can someone who played it when it was new explain why it was important to them?
I've read the side article about the book https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/07/book-excerpt-anti-gam... but don't understand:
> "But messy things like the island add to GoldenEye’s mythology—they add life to the world and give players something to theorize about and are some of the best examples of the handcrafted quality of the game"
> Because the game ran playably throughout development, the team could playtest, riff, and iterate all throughout the level setup period—a process Doak attributes to the game’s success
Iterations increasing quality, that I understand
But the article talk about the importance of multiple objectives and doesn't extends much on that. I just don't understand the difference between that and collecting keys, in the historical context.
