Can you please list modern games that use small font size and GUI .

As someone who also has below average eyesight, i'm not sure why GUI/fontsize customization hasn't become a universal standard in games yet. It's especially noticeable when going back to older games on newer resolutions. Without really good vision it's unplayable.

I guess their argument is if you can't see our games, fuck off, why are you playing it?

Serpent in the Staglands comes to mind, loved the aesthetics but the pixelated font was really hard on my eyes.

Despite being crashgrabs, the Infinity Engine games "enhanced" by Beamdog are a blessing for people with poor vision since you can easily adjust the font size. The bigger fonts mods available to BG2 (and BG1 via Tutu/BGT) were at most a band-aid solution.

It's not all that modern now (2007), but the first game that came to mind was the original Etrian Odyssey.

Yeah, was really bad. The European release had a readable font, though.

Oh yes this, seriously screw games that don't let you change font size. I played Injustice 2 several weeks ago and god damn the subtitle in this game is horrible, not only they don't break lines properly and each line has too much text in them, they are also presented in this tiny ass font size.

Distant Worlds UI and font size were particularly unreadable to me at high resolutions.

CK2, but they fixed it. Holy shit, the font size was ridiculous.

I actually prefer smaller font sizes for readability. But there are a few games where the font size is pretty large and I'd like to reduce it.
