10 Obvious Video Game Features We Can't Believe Don't Exist

10. Welcome Back Feature

One of the most frustrating things about playing an open world game is forgetting where you are supposed to go. You may have stopped playing for a few weeks so when you come back to the game, you realise you you are clueless about your destination or objective. You might have even forgotten what the controls are!

This can get so frustrating, you may have to start again. Modern open world games can take over fifty hours to complete, meaning the chances of getting lost or forgetting where to go are far more likely.

A simple way around this dilemma is a Welcome Back Feature. This option would allow a brief recap of the story or controls.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild uses a mechanic called The Hero's Path that shows the chronological path of your character from the very beginning to where he is now. You can access this on the map to see where you have already been and, more importantly, where you have yet to explore. A mechanic this helpful should be a necessity for every open world game.
