The main issue I'm having is that the game seems to delight in showing you various secret areas that you can't actually make use of, and then I can't navigate my way back to them a handful of hours later when I FINALLY have an ability to help me get through them.

I can appreciate that the lack of map works out great for others or even the majority of players. I just wish there was some way of compensating for it in my case. Perhaps some kind of beacon I could drop that I could at least PING later on that wouldn't guide me back to something, but would at least let me know I'm within a certain radius of it. Or just a vague You are Getting Warmer.

This would force me to actively note thing when I first find them.

But instead I end up trudging around in circles in a technicolor world that I get lost in...
