Earliest game I can think of would be Super Metroid, with it’s X-Ray Scanner, which is an upgrade you get partway through the game. It’s not 100% necessary, but some of the game’s secrets are designed with it in mind.
The Metroid Prime games implemented an FPS version of this pretty well. Really contributed to the atmosphere in some places. Also, while the visors let you see otherwise invisible things, they also made other things harder to see (or, in the case of the scanning visor, you couldn’t shoot while it was on.)
Super Metroid’s X-Ray is so cumbersome to use, I played it again recently and just wished for something like the tweet complained about.
But you’re right, it’s not needed, not even on the first playthrough, as no key item is hidden in such a fashion in the game. Interestingly, sometimes it doesn’t even do anything, like when your path is only visually blocked by foreground.
Unfortunately, I was playing the Super Metroid / Link to the Past randomizer and had forgotten some locations, so I did have to use it every now and then.
Turning zombie virus transmission off and experience gain rate up made it more fun for me, solo. But I do still occasionally play with others and that is fun.
Me and my friend made zombies fragile and turned spawns down a bit lower. It’s unrealistic but it makes it much more manageable for us. Especially Louisville which we couldn’t handle before without a Shotgun and tons of Ammo to mow down hordes.
It’s definitely different playing with friends. I feel like it helps mix things up too because there is only so much variability that it can have in single player
I love seeing these posts each day as I browse all. I got a steam deck not long ago and I love that you seem to play something different almost every day, you’ve given me some great suggestions 🙂
This is a huge game, i thought i was right before the end game twice but it just keeps on going. I have yet to start on the DLC’s and i was actually hoping to have moved the other sp rpgs on my todo list by now.
Its great though, if only cyberpunk was this big but they purposely kept it short because 70% of witcher 3 players didn’t get to the halfway point
That’s awesome man! I’m super happy for you. I’ll go ahead and add it to another wishlist. Unfortunately it will probably be a long time before I will be able to actually play it, but it is great to see you succeeding
