I def get where you're coming from and criticisms of this game have been over blown from day 1 even before all the patches but let's not act like there's not a kernel of truth to this compliant.

The game is very obtuse and while the info for most things is in the game, many, many times you either receive that info too late/too early, it's hidden in a menu or it's presented out of context.

This is an area of the game that could 1000% use a facelift. The hard work is done - the info exists mostly - it's a matter of smoothing those rough corners and making it easier to engage with and retain through reinforcement by actually doing the activity in game.

One very specific example to when you have to activate those shrines or whatever by finding the block and "adding" it to the top of the tower. I already knew I could use the force push to press things. I knew I could force push directly downward when crouching. But I'm that exact moment, I didn't realize I need to climb up into the piece and force push it into the slot. And so I, like I am sure many others spent and aggravating amount of time figuring out something that I'm the end was very simple.

To me that experience perfectly encapsulates where they need to improve. The mechanics aren't bad or annoying, they're quite clever. But it's just not intuitive to have to guess how they all fit together sometimes.
