I don’t mind yellow paint as much as it is a sign of the broader issue of big games trying to be idiot-proof. If a game has yellow paint I expect it to be as easy as it can be outside of giving me literal god mode.

    There’s good examples too. I genuinely found Aloy’s comments helpful in horizon forbidden west. Usually she said something right as I was getting frustrated.

    Though sometimes she spoke way too soon.

      I also really like the way they did the “yellow paint” in Forbidden West. It being a hologram that can be toggled was such a great way to keep the concept while not needing to compromise the visual aesthetic of environment design.

      It can work. I haven’t really seen it done well (haven’t played horizon forbidden west), but I’ve seen it done badly a ton of times.
