Have you ever noticed that characters added to games over time often look much more detailed than the original ones? That’s often called ‘visual power creep.’ As games are updated with better technology and artists push their skills, new characters tend to be more visually impressive than older ones. The original designs weren’t necessarily bad—they looked great when the game first came out. But when you compare them directly, the difference can be quite noticeable.

The idea of multiple universes isn’t new to movies and television, but it’s become incredibly popular, especially after Marvel started using it. When done well, stories like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Everything Everywhere All at Once are deeply moving explorations of relationships, showing characters confronting alternate versions of their lives and coming to terms with their past decisions. However, repeating this concept too often can diminish its emotional power.
