Just curious what people think has been done too much. I personally think finding notes left behind for no obvious reason is a big one. Nobody would do that and there's so many games that have that as a storytelling device. Another one that I can think of is PT's loop mechanic. While it was cool the first time, it just feels overused now.

Not trying to be rude to anyone that uses these in their game btw. They can be done well and they can be fun.

So what are y'all's opinions on what's been overdone?
