What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? (lemmy.world)

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

Most recently it's Clair Obscur Expedition 33. There's an actual overworld map but you need to get your bearings in area maps and dungeons because there are none. You'll have to use local landmarks to get around, find clues for hidden areas, and the direction you actually need to go. I've spent hours in single areas just getting lost admiring the design and artwork.

So far for me the game has done a great job of having recognizable landmarks at least. I might not always know where I am, but I'll frequently come across something that orients me again.

I despise being lost in video games, but claire obscure has been fine because I never feel like I get lost for too long. Just long enough to appreciate the gorgeous and very weird world I'm in.

I still sometimes wish there was a map but it would probably be a net negative.
