Elemental Gimmick Gear for the Dreamcast has one boss near the end that I needed to look up a guide for. He seemed to take no damage from any attacks; it turns out he was taking damage but the damage he took was so low that he showed no reaction, and that the way you beat him is literally just to keep chipping away at him for like 10 minutes.

I like in-game hint videos.


In-game hint systems are frequently too hard to figure out because they're basically also puzzles.


The new Zeldas have it right.

All you need is a little visual nudge denoting "HERE. GO HERE AND FUCK AROUND HERE MORE".

Rather than looking through a goddamn walkthrough for an hour trying to figure out where you are in the game, usually spoiling even more puzzles.

But it's also good to have the videos in a far off place and not in the menus.

I barely use those things. But just knowing you can use them makes games quite nicer.
