Non-puzzle-platformer collectathons?
I've been recently looking for a game that can scratch my collector's itch, but when researching good options I seem to largely just encounter puzzle-platformers (games like Spyro, Banjo Kazooie, etc.) While I do love that genre it made up a large bulk of my childhood and has largely run its course for me, so I'm looking for games with a slightly different approach to the collectathon genre. I'd love to find something with clear-set collections to fill that rely on more than just physically getting to them.
Some examples of things I've enjoyed that fit this bill are:
- Museum collections in games like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Sun Haven
- Hunting "rare" items in more open-world games like Minecraft or Terraria
- Creature collector games and hunting rare variants within them
- Filling out bestiaries in games with various enemies
Hopefully this gives a better sense of what I'm after so any suggestions are very welcome, and thank you for your insights
