What game mechanics do you love and hate?

I love hearing about unique takes on game mechanics. Someone recently convinced me that limited inventories are kind of abused currently and that unlimited inventory systems would give more player choices.

puzzles mechanics in games that are not about them.

Or puzzles that are completely esoteric or unintuitive. Just replayed some of the Myst games, and it's like "oh ok I was stuck on this for 30min because the lever was on the other side of the map and there was literally no indication that it was related". That's just artificially inflating your game's difficulty, and it's lazy puzzle making. Boooo

The Myst series of games had an unfortunate amount of unintuitive puzzles. Most games in that era that included puzzles did.

I've been whining to everyone in earshot about all the puzzles in remnant 2 hahaha
