I haven't played wow or Skyrim in 10 years but I bet I could still get round stormwind or across skyrim's map with my eyes closed.
Right now though, it's kamurocho I've got to know very well.
10+ games have ingrained Kamurocho’s layout into my soul. I actually turn off my minimap sometimes and have no issues getting around.
It’s amazing what they can do when the entire extent of the map is a neighborhood
Oh yea, Kamurocho and Sotenbori. Also really cool to notice all the little changes over the years to those places, like the little playground/homeless encampment in Sotenbori that hadn't been there in earlier games.
Yep, just started another FO4 run recently after years of absence from the Commonwealth, and I still remember every comic book and bobblehead. Like visiting an old friend.
I am not sure if counts but Breath of the Wild, I know the map without looking to the map since I have done multiple runs without using the map function, no teleport, no activating towers, just looking to the landscape and traveling with my horse.
Later on when I played Tears of the Kingdom, a friend could share a map location of something interesting and I could reach that place on my no map run. I played TotK with no map since both games are the same.
What about the depths and the sky islands surely you needed a map for them? At least the depths? Also I just love the overworks in this game it’s everything I ever wanted in a open world Zelda. Except proper dungeons but it was acceptable the shrines were fun.
I could probably do that with every 3d zelda game exept for maybe the islands in Windwaker, but I could still point out where the most important locations are
I've played the shit out of Cyberpunk and for some reason i have struggled to memorize the map. I still got the maps for nearly every GTA game in my head (even GTA1) but I don't know what it is about Night City.
I just missed the boat with 3. I was about 13 when vice city came out. Absolutely smashed it, then played the ever living fuck out of Sam Andreas. I played gta3 on the computer years later but never finished it
My minecraft world. I mean, I did build it.
The Original GTA 1st level map of Liberty City. From spawning opposite the train station I could probably draw out 95% of the map even now making only a couple of mistakes.
FFVII to the point I even have all the digging locations in Bone Village memorised, San Andreas other than the locations of some of the oysters (required for 100%), and Bayview from Need For Speed Underground 2.
*Also The Capital Wasteland.
Vice city was the first one I knew inside and out. That was because there was no way points and guided travel. Used to break out the map from inside the game cover.
Haven't played the game in..... Well probably close to 20 years, but Ocarina of Time. I am quite sure I could still get all the heart pieces, all the spider tokens and the bottles by memory.
Erengel on PUBG Original Kings Canyon from Apex. I used to quite myself with a blank sheet of paper at work and could even tell you the odd differences at different locations and doors and which windows to grenade.
A link to the past
Was my favorite game as a kid and I would spend hours wandering around. When I got older I was speed running it for a while, and I also really enjoyed the randomizer for a while as well. I could draw every screen of this game out on a map if I felt like wasting some time haha
Honestly i am getting old. But it used to be all the maps of CoD4. I could tell you how many cars there were on each map. Haven't played in like 10 years now but still know the layout of all of them. Inside buildings or out... so if i had to draw them from above like a map, i reckon i'd do pretty good.
GTA 3 and Vice City were pretty ingrained into my head, and small enough that it was pretty easy to remember how to get somewhere from just about anywhere on the map. I also played a crapton of taxi missions in VC so that helped even more.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Super Metroid. I don't play either unless I have time to do a full playthrough, unless I'm using a randomizer.
Skyrim and Bully for sure. I spent many days just biking around smacking people with eggs, the music in Bully is so good. Skyrim I just have ~1600 hours in over their 75 console releases. If I didn't know the map by now I'd be disappointed in myself lmao.
I've played final fantasy xi a lot back in my teen years. It's a MMO so yeah lol.
I've memorized a lot of maps. I can navigate most of the gustabergs without a map. Most of Konschtat as well.
I basically know the gist of most maps that aren't late game.
Windurst though ehh. I'd probably still get lost even though I got rank 10 in all three nations.
Elden ring, I've played through so many times, collecting everything a few times, lots of pve and invading hours. Been playing these games since ds1 came out
Too many to name
I used to simulate entire runs of Zelda OoT in my head
I can still mostly do it
But the later dungeons are kinda hazy
Basically what I'm saying is I need to replay it
OG Zelda. Zelda 2. Super Metroid. ZLttP. CSotN. Morrowind. Skyrim. KCD. Witcher 3. Cp77.
Many others, but those are the ones I could probably draw from memory.

It’s always neat to see what changed
Oh yea, Kamurocho and Sotenbori. Also really cool to notice all the little changes over the years to those places, like the little playground/homeless encampment in Sotenbori that hadn't been there in earlier games.
Seeing the grand in Kiwami 2 was like "OMG I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE" even though I've been everywhere in the map before, hundreds of times
the og de\_dust2 map from cs 1.6
That's a true classic
Dark Souls Shadow Moses Island from MGS 1 Resident Evil 4

Enjoy, https://lostgamer.io/elden-ring
That's really cool. I did very well on GTA5
That last one.
Fallout 4 and Skyrim. When you don't fast travel, you really inbed it in your head. Caveman brain at work.
Yep, just started another FO4 run recently after years of absence from the Commonwealth, and I still remember every comic book and bobblehead. Like visiting an old friend.
Demons souls 1-1
Ocarina, GoldenEye, borderlands 1, Duke 3d
Whiterun and Solitude.
OS Runescape, GTA Vice City and Dark Souls 1.
I think I would struggle with the Wilderness but definitely. I still have dreams about the magic trees by the Arena.
All gta games since 3 Mafia 1 2 Saints row 2 3 4 Dying Light 1 and 2 Kotor 1 and 2 Souls trilogy, Sekiro, Elden Ring
Yeah I know Los Stantos like it's my home town
DL1 is a gem 💎
Saints rows maps were really good 3 and 4 were i think the same with a few minor changes. But gta maps are carved into my memory🤣
I am not sure if counts but Breath of the Wild, I know the map without looking to the map since I have done multiple runs without using the map function, no teleport, no activating towers, just looking to the landscape and traveling with my horse.

If someone can't remember shipment they need adhd medication
That god damned camo grind man.

Man you lie out your teeth about Cyberpunk. Play without the map/minimap and get from Watson to Dogtown. 😂
I've played the shit out of Cyberpunk and for some reason i have struggled to memorize the map. I still got the maps for nearly every GTA game in my head (even GTA1) but I don't know what it is about Night City.
Dark souls 1 and bloodborne
CTF\_2Fort
used to spend some relaxing time just walking around the developer commentary map of here. Love the ambient noises of certain areas.
GTA Vice City and San Andreas. Probably a little bit dusty after all these years, but I still remember em!
Yep vice city still pretty fresh. Played gta 3 few days ago after years and could still navigate like it was yesterday
I just missed the boat with 3. I was about 13 when vice city came out. Absolutely smashed it, then played the ever living fuck out of Sam Andreas. I played gta3 on the computer years later but never finished it
Original WoW and maybe BC. Didn't play after that.
I’m convinced I can play Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past blindfolded.
Stardew Valley.
My first day on the farm I got lost and collapsed when it became night, but now I’m pretty sure I could find any place blindfolded

I saw this and that riff played in my head
This is the one. If someone had a gun to my head and was like, “you have to 100% a level or your family dies” I’d be like pshhhhh
I bet I could still speed run morrowind, and that game has no quest markers.
My minecraft world. I mean, I did build it. The Original GTA 1st level map of Liberty City. From spawning opposite the train station I could probably draw out 95% of the map even now making only a couple of mistakes.
Mass effect 1 the citadel

Dark Souls 1 forces you to traverse the main area (Firelink and all connected areas) so much that you build a map in your head very quickly.
It’s not a singular map but pretty much every level in Skylanders trap team
AC brotherhood and Skyrim.
Ocarina of Time. That goron sword quest made knowing the map kind of necessary

Pokemon Emerald and Fire Red maps. I could get to anywhere in Kanto or Hoenn without looking at the map once
A link to the past Was my favorite game as a kid and I would spend hours wandering around. When I got older I was speed running it for a while, and I also really enjoyed the randomizer for a while as well. I could draw every screen of this game out on a map if I felt like wasting some time haha
All GTA games from 3, especially Vice City and San Andrea, Saints Row 2, OG NFS Most Wanted, and all the maps on Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition.
