The other thread about favorite mechanics is great, so let's also do the opposite: what are some of your most hated mechanics?

The bit in the RPG when your character gets captured and you lose all your gear, and have to do the shitty stealth thing.

Controversial opinion but I mostly hate crafting. I feel like it's a huge time sink just to make you waste time in the game. It's not content at all just mindless farming for no real reason.

There are games where the whole game revolves around it so you couldn't really remove it from those games. Minecraft is an example.

But I feel like every single game now has some kind of crafting mechanics. Mainly the F2P to get some kind of weird limitation that will either take you half a lifetime to accomplish or $5...

Invisible walls, including on high places or on bridges - I get it, possibly it would be less fun if the character dies just because you go a bit off-road, but not everything has to be easy!

Either crafting or being Sonic the Hedgehog
