Even random lock/key puzzles become boring quickly. Procedural tools is a great way of amplifying artist creativity, but don't generate fun games on their own.

Not until we solve "hard" AI, at least. Once we do, I expect that will be what they do to keep us pets happy.
- Splines 10y agoBorderlands is another good example of this. Procedurally generated guns, but they fall into buckets of terrible->ok->good->amazing, and the particular uniqueness of that weapon becomes stale after a few minutes. I enjoyed about the game until about halfway through until it started turning into a slog. (Although this is probably a matter of MMO mechanics not meshing well with FPS).
