Years of hand-holding and blatantly telling the player what to do have done irreparable damage to gamers' critical thinking and attention spans.

What's your ID? It's on your suit - look down.
How do I get this thing to raise? Shoot the thing.
You're a technician - how do you fix the thing? Turn it on and off.
There's so many simple things with simple solutions that will filter out streamers like DSP.

The game does very little hand holding.

Everything is so diegetic in this game for the sake of immersion. There's no UI, but you can see relevant information directly on your CAT. You directly interact with the terminal without a secondary UI popping up.

I'm liking it so far. It's definitely well made. I like the atmosphere.

God forbid people have explanations or enjoy simply enjoying the ride instead of something the devs thought was obvious (good thing everyone thinks the same way with problem solving)

PS: Mandatory watching: Gamespot's "The redesign that saved Deathloop feature". It's up on YouTube.

Oh what a game that may have been...... :-(

the funniest thing about the ID, is if you payed attention and know your objective for the living quarters you only need to solve a diagnostics puzzle before being told at the login screen here where your ID is

it's not even just a basic critical thinking issue it's an attitude issue too of not taking a break to think about it or search for an answer while doing something else

Perfect example of this is streamer xQc. Sad to see.

DSP just can't catch a break

DSP is the reason GoW Ragnarok got more hand holding than it needed to. And I bet that imbecile still didnt get the puzzles.
uhvoiid Dec 5 @ 12:01pm

@nickydo in that case you should never play puzzle games like Myst f.e., you wont like it.
