It didn't help that there were some items (like collectible SSDs and 'filtrum terminals') whose utility I still didn't understand when the credits rolled.Also: There's no indication of how many audio logs, etc. In a game where going the wrong direction can be fatal, it's infuriating.The result of this cartographical debacle was that I was really hesitant to hunt down anything that wasn't on the critical path, because I was so fearful of not finding my way back. In other games, this would be annoying.
