Not content wise, but literally too dark in color gradience.

Maybe it's just me, my monitors, or I've gotten old (though I don't have this issue irl) but I found that games are often made too dark these days. Like I'm switching back and forth on high to mid brightness depending on the scene and what time of day it is in the scene.

But turning up the (software based) brightness in the settings ruins the visuals imo; it can wash them out or make the bright aspects too bright. It's like they use darker textures for a lot of things and less luminous (luminousity?) in their lighting to me.

Maybe it's a contrast issue? But I've tried various settings and it's still a problem to me at least. Just asking around to see what other people think.

EDIT: I'm really surprised this blew up, and there's a great range of answers. Guess there are so many factors that can effect the lighting strength and quality for each person a dev can't truly design for every scenario
