What are some great games that require you to bust out a notebook and pen? (lemmy.ml)

I just got finished with beating Riven for the first time. I adored the way the game seeped into my real life with pages of notes about the world I was discovering. Are there any other games that can match this feeling? That really work best when you have a journal in hand?

The following games all typically do not hold the player's hand. They are to varying degrees, some give you a map and/or journal, some do not.

  • TES III Morrowind
  • King's Field 1-4
  • Snatcher on SEGA CD
  • Dark Souls 1-3, Demons Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring
  • Ultima Underworld
  • Silent Hill 1-4
  • Shadow of the Colossus
  • Tunic
  • Super Metroid
  • Hollow Knight
  • Rain World
  • System Shock 1,2

I love the Morrowind recommendation. Also, unlikely suggestion, but I had to get a pen and paper for The Great Crystal dungeon on Final Fantasy XII.
