We've all played them. Backtracking, not knowing where to go. Going back and forth. Name some of these games from your memory. I'll start: Final Fantasy XIII-2, RE1

Lego Harry Potter
For fucks sake it was obtuse. I had to use a walkthrough to figure out what to do next multiple times just in the first episode
I'm sure I can think of several examples but recently I was replaying the original Darksiders and boy howdy did I get lost all the fkn time
This one's pretty controversial, but if you've never played it before,
Half Life 1
It's really confusing and enemies will pop out of nowhere and kill you instantly. Not really fun imo, but then again I AM playing it for the first time 27 years after it came out 😂
I'm sure Black Mesa is more intuitive though.
Which bits in particular? Because on one hand it's a fairly linear design, but on the other there are some bits that can loop around themselves and objectives aren't always obvious.

Fractal Block World
I was playing Star Wars: Bounty Hunter on Switch today because of the current free trial. At first, running around as Jango Fett in the Gamecube era was fun, but then shortly after getting my jet pack, I get completely turned around while chasing the bounty guy and spent over a half hour being lost. Called it quits after that.

Hard to recall them since I tend to drop them when I get stuck. If I look up a hint and find out it is something that never had any previous hints to figure out I also drop the game because nothing is more frustrating than guesswork.
Pocahontas on Sega Genesis. I don't even remember the plot, but I got stuck and had to return it to Blockbuster.
