When you enter a level and the camera pans over every important thing in the level before you can move. I'm not an idiot. I can discover the level on my own. Stop holding my hand.

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!
