Not knowing where to go or feeling confused about how to move from one location to another can be a challenge for many gamers, including new or younger players, low vision gamers like me and those with cognitive impairments.

However, getting unintentionally lost in a game is an all too common and very frustrating experience.

Studies have shown that gaming improves both spatial awareness and navigation skills. I often face barriers when navigating the world, so it’s thrilling when I get to experience driving a fast car in the dystopian London of Watch Dogs Legion, swinging through New York as Spider-Man or climbing a mountain on a secret pirate island as Nathan Drake in Uncharted 4. This is particularly important to me as a low vision gamer. One of the joys of gaming are the places you get to explore that you would never be able to visit in real life.
