I have always liked open world games as a concept, but I have a very bad sense of direction. So whenever I play open world games I keep getting lost and frustrated. Eventually getting bored and dropping the game. I am curious how other people with bad sense of direction cope with this problem.
When I play open world games I lose myself in the exploration and have lots of fun. I have a horrible sense of direction, like so bad that I’ve been playing WoW for 14 years and I still get lost in that game.
But with games like BoTW, ToTK and Diablo 4, I just pick a direction and go and I pick up quests, side quests or kill things for loot along the way. I find myself becoming very frustrated following the main scenarios because they require you to go to specific places on the map and I suck at reading maps so I just put that off for last and have fun exploring.
