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.
