I can definitely see how this would have blown Gamecube owner minds in 2002, but in 2023 there are so many design issues. Required items are well hidden, there are platforming issues that do not have shortcuts later, and you should just be able to fast travel between save points or other rooms. I have no issues hiding optional items like energy tanks or missile upgrades, but hiding the 12 artifacts that are required to finish the game is poor.
