The following addition is Intuition Mode, which let’s you spotlight targets, targets and interactables. I didn’t use this characteristic as a lot as I might’ve however it positively got here in helpful various occasions, like when that you must discover which surroundings is climbable. Each these are elective options, toggleable within the menu for the purists, however there’s additionally some smaller high quality of life tweaks and additions that went over my head as somebody who solely performed the unique a number of occasions at a mate’s place in 2006. All in all , little revamp!
