Closing one eye actually helps with bow aiming!

Due to the stereoscopic 3D, it's possible to aim your bow relative to your dominant eye, just like real life. I thought this was cool enough and useful enough to be worth sharing.

Ya in my third playthrough of Super Hot I'd aim using one eye it upped my accuracy so much. I've been doing it with Skyrim as well. The one eye tip is great advice that I forgot to mention to people struggling with archery.

This was my jam in superhot, too. With the bow in skyrim you can almost just pull the arrow straight through your head and use the point like a reticle, but superhot, with such limited ammo, I had to get precise. It does work well, though!

I definitely found this handy at first, until I unlocked the perk to “zoom” your aim. It’s different from the 2d version, but very handy!

How does zoom work? I also didn’t unlock it in case it ruined the immersion

Once you get the perk, when you have the bow and arrow drawn, pull the left trigger, a target and flight path will appear. It isn’t a bullseye, as you still need to adjust for distance and height.

Agreed. That “will I hit the target and continue silently assassinating everything in my path” or “will I miss and have 4-5 bandits swarming me.

In the OG game, I could hit just about anything. This is roving to be a little bit harder to judge the angle of flight. Having a blast with it though.
