Less of an issue nowadays but unclimbable knee-high walls which force you to go round. Always drove me crazy!

Fatal Frame 4 release has the most agonizing form of this.

There’s a hallway you’ve been down before, but at one point a ghost blocks it with a wheelchair. A WHEELchair.

Especially egregious in games where you already climb around in other places!

Fallout 3 and NV had loads of this crap. A door is busted to hell and somehow locked but you need a key to unlock it. A stiff breeze will destroy the rest of the door.
