I’ll go first: Security Breach. I had to watch a whole tutorial on how to exit the laundry level, only for me to find out that the exit… was right in front of me. Between two washing machines I was staring directly at. Anyone else have these dumb realization moments?
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
First game I ever used the internet for help. Had to go to a friends house to do it cus my family didn’t have internet yet.
How to navigate the Tarm Ruins to get the the Ancient Ruins dungeon.
Looking back, it is actually super easy. Especially because I had the clue from the deku scrub and everything. But c’est la vie.
In prey there was this one door you could open by having a tier 3 repair skill but I didn’t want spend my skill points for that. So it turns out there is a small little hole on the door that sees the manual override button and you could just shoot that.
This one is embarrassing because it’s not even a puzzle.
I got stuck in Link to the Past dark world dungeon 4 because i couldn’t find a way through the walls… I even phoned the nintendo help line (but it didn’t go through).

there are no walls, those are vertical ceilings. You just WALK under them
Dead Space Remake, there is this botanic garden area and I needed a battery to open a door, couldn’t find it. It was right there, a few meters away from the door, but I didn’t see it.
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap.
In the very first dungeon, there’s a switch, and a pot. My idiot brain tried to throw the pot onto the switch for AGES. I just couldn’t do it, and I almost quit playing.
So I decide to search it up, and apparently you could just push the pot? It was so embarrasing.
Yes, actually it was South Park: The Fractured But Whole
most of the times when I’m stuck in any Zelda game either what to do in a dungeon or where I am suppose to go next. It always is like duh how did I not realize that
I tend to classify all puzzles I cannot solve as: “this was impossible to solve anyway.”
