I mean, they are literally clickbait. They want you to wonder what the best part of Alan Wake is or what the best soullike of 2023 is. It’s just an evolution of clickbait, but it’s still very much clickbait.

Explore and be curious. Have you visited every planet? Have you been using the ship logs when you’re not sure what to do next?

The game is 100% about exploring and learning about the world.

I mean, it’s the main mechanic of the game, and happens in the first 22 minutes of the game. I would not describe that as a “major spoiler” but it is neat when it just happens suddenly.

I have a Pixel 5a and have the same issues in maps. It loves to replace the dot on the map (which seems accurate) with the giant “low accuracy” text, which just gets in the way. When I “calibrate” it has me take pictures of the area around me.

I don’t want to be a conspiracy nut but it feels purposeful so that they can just get more photo data. I wish I could just turn the “calibration” off and just let me be in “low accuracy” mode.

The sages were SO obnoxious. They were generally constantly in the way when you didn’t want them to be there (picking up stuff) and when you actually want to use them in combat, it seemed like they actively ran away from you. I’d deactivate them only to immediately need them to clear out stuff. Easily the worst part of the game.
