Or hell, even map markers. So often I'd forget where something was and spend a million years exploring.
YES! This is one of those small things most of the modern Metroidvania/Search Action games do that really helps. Or even just having rooms with secrets left to find a different color on the map, ala Resident Evil.
Like, I know where one of those major upgrades is, but I can't get it until I've got a different upgrade first. But I'll be damned if I could tell you where that room is on the map! I know which region it's in, but I'll probably have to run through the whole thing, unless the game does that explicit hint thing of "hey go over here".
