Do you mind backtracking in games?

Do you mind backtracking in games (visiting previous locations, repeating levels, killing enemies you already killed, etc.)? Under what circumstances does it bother you? Under which do you not mind it?

i do this in open world games, exploring tights places and small details that nobody pays attention to is always interesting

It only bothers me if I forgot something. Then I get pissed.

I think that the Resident Evil games, the originals and maybe 4, do backtracking well. Like you said, you start to learn the world your in and coming back to an area you couldn't unlock previously and finally getting in is very satisfying.

I do it a lot in open-world games and I don't mind it at all as you may just have missed something on your previous journey. Also, sometimes you just want to take some screenshots in a particular area.

I revisit areas tons of times for different reasons. But if I have to turn around and go back because I missed something important that I had to have or forgot something then that is where my problem lies.

Personally, it's something that I'm very fond of doing because it's something that makes me to enjoy the game more. How can I love a game only to play it just once?
