This article contains spoilers for Succession. While Succession is rife with satirical dark humor, narcissism, nepotism, and Shakespearean family betrayal, the show certainly isn’t going to draw many viewers in through the use of warm and cozy relationships.

Open-world games are a difficult balancing act. Crafting a large world for gamers to explore is completely detached from creating a world worth exploring.
