I don't mind yellow paint as much as it is a sign of the broader issue of big games trying to be idiot-proof. If a game has yellow paint I expect it to be as easy as it can be outside of giving me literal god mode.

I play so many old games I practically forgot about yellow paint, but the last AAA I played didn't use that or minimaps, and despite being mostly linear, it was an absolute chore in an overly detailed environment.

Ya don't need literal yellow paint like in some games (although I know there's reasons for that) but lighting is really a nice way to do it. And in either case it's better than waymarks and big ol' arrows pointing the fastest route to a quest target, I still want to use my brain a little after all!

FFXVI doesn't have a minimap because the director thought it wasn't immersive to have one. So now I'm opening the map menu every 30 seconds to figure out which part of the slightly flooded swamp can be walked on. So immersive.

That game made it feel like you were punished for trying to explore.
