NO HUD

I recently picked up the game again, I always played the game with its regular settings but this time around I decided to play with a completely clean screen, no mini map, no pop up notifications, no reticle, no health and dead eye core pop ups, absolutely nothing on screen. I’m telling you this is like playing the game for the first time again, you start to notice smaller details that you’d often ignore, there’s less distractions on screen so you pay attention to conversations and what’s immediately happening around you, the world begins to feel more real and organic, you start to take your time doing everything because you’re no longer running from spot to spot. When you want to visit a different town you have to really plan out your route to not get lost. It’s really engaging and relaxing, I’ve also started to play a more role playing style, having to make sure Arthur is good temperature, try and stay dry so no traveling in the rain, going to bed around the same time, breakfast lunch and dinner. It’s been some of the most fun I’ve had with the game, the only challenge has been shooting with no reticle. But that’s realistic isn’t it. But most importantly, take your time to watch the sunrise and sunset.
