garretble@lemmy.world 1 year agoWhen I found out about the “Pro” hud in BotW/TotK it really changed my enjoyment of the game. Having nothing on the screen is so nice. I opened up the map quite a bit, sure, but it really made me look up and scan the world so much more. And because those games are MADE so that is fun and engaging, it made it even better. You start to really feel grounded in the world when you start learning the environmental landmarks you see and come across.

This is why I do it. To encourage me to look around the game world and truly appreciate the amount of work that went into creating it. The games that build gameplay around no map benefit so much by allowing me to explore. It’s made WD:Legion so much more fun to approach. I get to figure out my way around building by using the gameplay mechanics they built and plan a route like a “real” hacker.
