Something I continually think about is how Doom 3 showed us a world where you can have a first-person game that seamlessly has you controlling a mouse cursor on in-world computer screens, and it saddens me that nobody picked up that baton.
I haven’t played Doom 3, but it sounds very similar to what Prey 2017 has - all the computers in the game have (in-universe) touch input, so you can use them just by pressing the interact key while looking at a display. You can even fire rubber-tipped foam darts at screens to trigger a click in the spot where the dart hit!

Best feature in that whole game.

Oh shit
Seconded. I loved that game but that part of it honestly blew me away.
I think of that every time I see a cursor following my mouse in an FPS game.
And at the moment, I struggle to remember anything besides the tiny resemblance of that in Cyberpunk 2077 lol
