I noticed this in GTA Five and Assassins Creed. I kept staring at the mini map more than the world. I followed the markers and missed half of what was around me.
But when I played Elden Ring and Red Dead Redemption Two, there was no busy mini map telling me where to go every second. I looked at the world instead. I watched the sky, the roads, the sounds, the small details. The game felt bigger and more real.
This small thing changes everything, but nobody talks about it.
Share the game that made you stop watching the map and start watching the world.
Thank you.
