Yep. And coloured ledges you can grab, sparkling items to collect. I remember in old Monkey Island games there being no way to visually discern what you could or couldn’t interact with, you’d spend so long just trying things to see what worked.

FF8 was infuriating about that shit, iirc shit did somewhat glimmer but they had a habit of jamming junk under overhangs you can’t see under and can’t really tell exist unless you try to walk there. You end up spending a significant part of the game walking around all the walls like a psychopath.

  Yeah, having stuff being obvious is actually incredibly freeing. Without that I waste so much time checking every part of every room, trying to work out which corridor leads to the objective vs which one might have collectibles.
  
  Knowing I can just play a game, fine most stuff, get on with it, and not regret not using a guide is a real gift.

    That’s what’s wrong with your generation. You want all of the reward, and none of the work.
    
    In MY day, we had to LOOK for shit goddamit.
