There are so many item pickups in this game, it would be nice if key items (levers, keys etc.) were a different colour from normal items and there was a bit more fanfare when you picked it up. The framing is done really well in this game, showing you items you should go for with camera panning but it’s easy to forget which items to go for since there’s so much stuff to do in areas.
It’s happened a few times playing the game now, where I will just have picked up a key item without realising because I just assume it’s a resource or something, but maybe it’s just a skill issue. It would also be nice if key items relevant to the area showed up in the hud ui, so you could see at a glance what you have for that area.
