What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? (lemmynsfw.com)

We've all played them. Backtracking, not knowing where to go. Going back and forth. Name some of these games from your memory. I'll start: Final Fantasy XIII-2, RE1

Disco Elysium for me. Too many open directions. Too much player agency. I had no idea where I should go.

I always took Disco as just a "stumble into the plot" kind of game. You're not supposed to go anywhere.

True, but the problem (at least for me) is that I was simultaneously going nowhere and running out of places to go. I legit wasn't sure how to progress literally any of the opened quests and felt like nothing was getting done.

The funny thing about Disco Elsyium is that there's so much to do in the opening area and it builds such a rich picture of the city that you assume it's a much bigger world than it really is.

It really isn't that much bigger than the first part, but they did such a great job you don't end up minding.
