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.

    I can navigate game worlds more effectively than I can the real world. I can struggle to visualise a local route but could probably walk you through several zones of a Souls game.

      I’m the same way! My partner was surprised when we played a game together and I always knew where to go and they kept getting lost.

      I think it’s because video games do a lot more useful sign posting than real life. Plus a mini map (in some games).
