Great game. You get dropped on the ground and need to find your way to checkpoints using a compass and a map. No GPS dot to tell you where you are. I orienteer in real life and so love this sort of thing, I think a wider audience would enjoy it too. If you enjoy navigating around an open world map (Assassin's Creed/GTA etc) without relying on the GPS then I think you'd like this.
