Honestly, I think I can actually say I've gotten dumber as a result of absurd levels of handholding in games. I've been playing SMT3 Remastered (Featuring Dante from the "Devil May Cry" Series) lately, something I never played back in its original release, and there was a point I was lost for a good hour trying to find my way to the next region, nothing to point my way. And of course it was just a matter of me forgetting there was an NPC-guarded door that was no longer guarded after a certain event.
