How fucking cryptic old games can be.

For me, there's almost nothing worse than when a game doesn't clearly communicate what it wants you to do.

Wandering around aimlessly or having to look up a walkthrough to see how to progress is annoying as fuck.

Iam having that minor issue with turok2 atm hahahahha funny enough.

Yeah while the action of that game was awesome, it was a pretty bad offender as far as being obtuse in terms of level design. A lot of games from back then are like that, labyrinthine stages where everything looks the same and there's barely any direction or signposting.

I recently played the Perfect Dark Remake on Xbox and while it is a great game, I had to consult a guide sometimes cos it's like the devs expected to read their minds in terms of "wtf am I supposed to do next?"
