Video game puzzle/obstacle/mission tropes you hate

When you have to backtrack like all the way through the level or just run around everywhere looking for obscure shit to unlock a wall or door or bookcase or whatever.
Fucking Resident Evil.

Metroid Prime

ehh...the first time you play it, yes. you can get most of those keys early if you know where they are, though.

prime 2 is considerably worse about this. i really don't mind it in the first game at all because they're really easy and fast to get, but in prime 2 that's not the case.

those damn stupid slider puzzles, u know, where you slide tiles to make a picture.
it was in RE4, and most recently uncharted golden abyss.
its in other games, cuz ive done them more than twice, but i cant think of them off the top of
my head.

I was just thinking about those things

theres one thing that god of war does that bugs me.
you come to a door thats locked or sumthin, so you go the other way to find a key, and you end up playing like 2 hrs of the game doing what your supposed to, when suddenly you get a key, and your like, "oh yeah..... there was a locked door."

basically, you just spent 2 hrs to essentially go thru one door.
