We’ve all played them. Backtracking, not knowing where to go. Going back and forth. Name some of these games from your memory.
I’ll start: Final Fantasy XIII-2, RE1
I don’t know, man, I ran around hugging every wall of deserted Doom and Wolfenstein 3D levels that a) noclip became the default way to play those games, and b) Half-Life felt like an amazing breath of fresh air.
Well, Quake 2 did, I guess. Half-Life felt like the next-gen take on that idea.

My pet theory is that the whole “liminal” trend got triggered by that feeling you get walking around areas of hell you’ve completely decimated.
