10 Gameplay Tweaks That Seriously Improve Video Games
10. Turn On Auto Loot - Horizon: Forbidden West & The Last Of Us
While it wouldn't be accurate to describe Horizon or The Last Of Us as "looter" games like Diablo or Borderlands, you can't deny that there is A LOT of junk to pick up over the course of these enormous games.
Crafting is a core element of each, and therefore, so is foraging for materials and scavenging metals and tools.
Though a minor inconvenience, it becomes especially exacerbated when, for example, you've stripped a Thunderjaw of all of its individual parts using Tearblast arrows, and now you're tracking down every little scrap of metal scattered across a space the size of a football field.
Mercifully, both Guerilla Games and Naughty Dog saw fit to ease this collect-a-thon grind.
Included as an accessibility option, it actually makes for a much-needed quality of life improvement in both games. After turning this option on across Horizon Forbidden West, The Last of Us Part 2 or 2022's Last of Us Part 1/remake, instead of having to stop and pick up every item, they'll be automatically added to your inventory.
Even better, in Horizon's case, this feature works while you're mounted, which puts collecting the items you'll be using in bulk almost completely out of mind.
