With the upcoming Dead Space Remake and The Callisto Protocol, some friends and I were discussing HUDs from various games. Decided it might make an interesting topic here.
Here are some that always come to mind for various reasons:
Dead Space - Essentially your HUD is the in game HUD your character sees and uses. Health bar is part of your iconic suit.
Metro Last Light - Guns designed for identifying ammo left with the wrist having extra information easily viewable.
Nier Automata - Directly integrated into the gameplay and menu using the chip system. Also directly changes UI and audio elements as well. Couldn't find any direct images of the menu, so this isn't the best example...
Persona 5 - Very stylistic HUD with larger elements used throughout and often animated as well.
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - The majority of the info is displayed in the bottom right corner. Simple yet effective.
EDIT: Also, I didn't include any VR examples, because those would almost be a new topic in themselves, but feel free to share those too.

So are there specific game HUDs that you love? Hate? Or maybe one that stands out to you or is memorable for whatever reason?
