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

I've just finished Turok for the first time. Some of these levels are absurd.

Turok 1? Cause IIRC there's only a couple areas where I feel you can get stuck unless you really think about things. For the most part you just explore all parts of the map until you find the right place to go.

The one that first comes to mind is the level where you've got to find a bunch of switches to raises "stairs" over a pit of lava. Again, IIRC. The other one is a place where you've got to know that falling off the cliff won't kill you. But IIRC you can see the tree tops in that area which you wouldn't see in an area where falling will kill you.

Yeah, the maze with button platforms is catacombs, that was definitely the one that had me stuck the longest time. Partly because of the maze-like structure and partly because it relies on a few climbable walls that are a lot less obvious than the usual and a very missable teleport tile.

There's also plenty of places especially in treetop village where I was like "how the fuck am I supposed to go there?". Turns out none of them is really necessary (and some might just not be normally accessible, even though they have items?) but that's still confusing.

And even though I didn't get lost too bad in it, Final confrontation surprised me. From the name I went into it expecting maybe a short level and the boss fight. That thing took forever to go through. I even had multiple moments where I was like, "lots of ammo, music is becoming ominous, here we are, boss fight"... And... No. Just another room full of enemies.
