Kinda depends on if there's visual cues and how linear things are, too, I suppose. No minimaps and terrible visual cues as to where to go make for an annoying experience, but use of lighting and stuff can do just fine otherwise.

Though I'm a bit of a completionist so missing any little thing bugs me, haha. But that's a personal taste.

There's definitely a balance to it. I don't need 25 different meters and markers and quests and reminders, but I'm also one that does like just having the "go here arrow" because I can't game nearly as much as I want to and remembering all the minor details can be hard
