We've all played them. Backtracking, not knowing where to go. Going back and forth. Name some of these games from your memory. I'll start: Final Fantasy XIII-2, RE1

I hate it
As an old game player. If I stop and think about it, I really hate that I get frustrated /bored if I'm playing a game that doesn't tell you what to do / where to go at every moment.
To me I've feel like I've lost my sense of adventure.
Maybe it's also a time factor too, I don't have the same amount of time to play when I was a kid.
Having said that, game design certainly has improved over the years and lessons learned in what not to do when it comes to level design!
I resonate with this. I feel like I had far patience and wonder as a kid.
Yeah I wonder how much of it is we've gotten used to having quest markers all over the place to tell us where to go and just need to have the option of turning them off and rewiring ourselves.. Or I just don't have the patience anymore? Haha
