History YMMV / DeathsDoor

* ThatOneSidequest: Collecting and planting all the seeds is actually necessary to unlock the secret ending. Thankfully the game does highlight areas that still have items to discover, but players who only used seeds sparingly are in for hours of additional grunt work, not least because it's unclear whether the highlighting indicates a seed, soul or collectible item.
** The AntiFrustrationFeatures in the post game do help it, however. The Rusty Garden Trowel will glow if you visit an area at night and there are seeds left to find there. Furthermore, finding Pothead in the secret garden will have him tell you which closest area has pots to plant them.

** When Betty uses her RollingAttack, it looks like an attack that's properly fitting for a wild, untamed yeti and [[spoiler:a CallBack to the Yeti from ''VideoGame/TitanSouls'']]. When [[spoiler:the Lord of Doors]] uses the same move, it looks hilarious seeing them of all people curl into a ball and roll at the player crow.
** Whenever you activate doors leading to the celestial bureaucracy from other places, sometimes little flower babies can enter into the Reapers' place, infesting the office. Some of them sleep in a box near the scanner (complete with {{snot bubble}}s); one of them also becomes an ink-covered mess at Agatha's desk from rolling itself in ink!

* TheOneBoss: Or "mini-boss type" in this case. You'd be hard pressed to find someone who actually likes fighting the mace knights that guard certain areas. Compared to every other enemy and boss in the game, their attacks are barely telegraphed. Even worse, their maces have very long and wide hit boxes ''and'' track the player, meaning that pre-emptively dodging only guarantees getting hit. Couple that with inconsistent vulnerability windows and a fairly large health pool, and you get a frustrating encounter.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The secret ending reveals that [[spoiler: Grey Crow being tasked with obtaining a soul that had already disappeared in to the Aether wasn't an administrative error but something the Free Crows arranged at the behest of Truth. While their intentions may have been good, they intentionally put Grey Crow into an impossible situation that would eventually drive him mad]].

* ContinuityLockout: The secret ending is one big callback to [[spoiler: the developers' previous game Titan Souls]] and will mean little to players who didn't play it. [[spoiler: Truth is revealed to have been the reason the Free Crows manipulated and aided the player character, but he didn't actually have anything to do with the Lord of Doors's actions and the Crows had plenty of reasons to help end the status quo regardless, so to new players this can come across as a meaningless background detail.]]

* BestBossEver: All of them, really. The bosses are tough (but fair), demand concentration and playing well, and prevailing over them just feels awesome.
* BestLevelEver: The Inner Furnace has plenty of setpieces (such as dodging bombs on a conveyor belt while also avoiding pistons), but what makes it unforgettable is the music, a tense string piece that [[MickeyMousing uses the background machinery noise as percussion]].

* AwesomeBosses: just about every boss fight offers visual spectacle, a tough (but not unfair) test if player's skills, and rewards player'sd creativity with some PuzzleBoss elements.
