Maps, as a concept, are very helpful when nativating video game worlds. Modern exploration games almost always provide an in-game map, so the player can check their position and waypoints with just a click of a button. But when video games come packaged with physical, paper maps, I get confused. Physical video game maps may have served their purpose in the past. There’s an argument to be made that retro video games lacked the on-board memory required for full in-game maps, especially detailed ones, so physical maps could actually be useful. But modern games? Why do they sometimes come with paper video game maps?
