Open-World Games That Remove The Map And Let You Get Lost On Purpose

Many games successfully limit navigational aids without making the experience frustrating. Modern games often give players detailed maps and waypoints, telling them exactly where to go and what to expect. But this can actually diminish the fun of discovering things on your own – hidden camps, strange buildings, or interesting characters you might otherwise miss. When games remove these markers, players feel more connected to the world, and exploration becomes truly rewarding. Even small discoveries then feel important and can even be crucial for survival.
