A system that will guide you but still leave you to discover things. With three time settings to fit your needs as well as the option to turn it off entirely.

addedThe Objective menuAlongside the hint system is it's brother, the objective menu. A new menu that automatically slides in and out during screen transitions to remind you of your main objective as well as some secondary objectives. Nice, easy and discreet.
