I’ll have to watch the whole video later, but just based on what I’ve read, this is one of my favorite things in games.
Continuously realizing “oh wow I actually was able to go there” and seeing where you’ve come from and where you may still be able to go, is great.
Elden Ring was the most recent title to do this for me, and I think From has consistently been able to do that.
I know of Techland but had to remind myself of what they’ve made … Some recognizable names:
Call of Juarez
Dead Island
Dying Light 1 & 2
Doesn’t feel great to hear about Tencent doing this with any company.
