I don't know anything about the 3DS version because I noped the moment I saw that it had DLC and noped again when the localization was filled with bugs and optimization issues for no reason. I would imagine they made it easier but really the problem with the game is that the boss fights are just consistently bullshit and the class system is largely a waste of time outside of a handfull of skills you have no idea who has until you spend tens of hours grinding it out. Oh, and if you grind too much you can't grind anymore because fuck you.

Shifting Sand Land doesn't really have that many interesting stars. The desert setting could work but it's pretty bland and aside the pyramid and Pokeys, not much else really ties into it. The tornadoes are annoying. They're not really a challenge, they just waste ten to fifteen seconds, and way too often catch you when you're on the four pillars, trying to actually trigger the checkpoints, which often don't trigger. The flight cap is used in the most boring way so far, just requiring to fly in straight lines. The inside of the pyramid, as well, isn't very interesting, having only one real platforming challenge, and even that's barely a challenge. It's just a bland stage with annoying mechanics.

5 is the worst by far. People tend to hate 3, but most of 5 is running through a gray area punching doors and fighting endless repeating teleporting enemies.

“Down The Bonehoard” and “Return To The Cathedral” in Thief TDP
You go from stealing from mansions and sneaking through prisons to playing Tomb Raider with the Dark Engine’s subpar physics. I respect the developers at trying to set the mood by having the map literally say “Where the fuck am I?”and have the player figure out their bearings on their own, but you need to have markers in the level so you don’t have to keep running lost in circles for hours trying to find an obscure entrance to the next part of the map.
And while I’m at it, I fucking hate the Thieves Guild level in the Gold version of the game. I like the casino and going between mansions, but the sewer part of that level represents everything wrong with 90’s map design. Can’t tell you the number of times I had to reset because I came to a gate that I didn’t unlock because I missed a specific level combination.

Zone of The Enders 2 (The Second Runner) for PS2.
The game is all about high speed mecha fights, flying all over the place.
Then, in one of the very later levels, you are thrown in a infiltration mission, where you have to walk slowly to not activate bombs or alarms, and everything does high damage to make sure that you can't try to just rush the level.
The boss fight in this level is one of the best of the whole game, but the level is one of the worst ideas ever applied/misused in a video game.

Water Temple was not that fucking bad. It was convoluted and samey, a bit confusing in its design, but not that bad; overcoming the challenge felt great. And, as >>15369038 said, people with some measure of vertical spatial recognition would have a much easier time playing the game; it didn't help that much of the original N64 graphics in OoT were very bland and poorly designed, which led to further confusion. If you played the 3DS remake of OoT, they redesigned the Water Temple textures and graphics to be more vibrant, giving better visual cues for players to help them figure out the puzzles.
Lord Jabu Jabu's belly was shorter but MUCH more annoying to play into because escorting Ruto was a pain in the ass. It didn't feel like a challenge to overcome, it felt like an annoyance forced on you for little to no reason whatsoever; dealing with Ruto's bitchy attitude on top of trying to fight off all the shit trying to eat you just made me rage, and finally solving the 'puzzle' just made me shake my head and think;

The Escape level in Thief, not only responsible for every shit-level in a stealth-game where they have to throw in a twist of the story, so now suddenly everyone knows where you are in the story and now you have to escape. (Which are the biggest piece of shit-levels there are, especially since it ruins the idea of your achievements up until that with throwing story-elements at you making you become discovered even though you never failed).
The only problem with Thieves Guild is it's not fully tested so the shadows are wonky and guard-detection is slightly off. Thought it was kinda cool to break into two mansions and framing one another.

You're missing the point. Paris never should have been designed as it was with its massive, empty streets because it shows all the issues with the game. It's not about the AI being shit, despite the fact it is, it's about letting the fact it's shit shine brightly because the level fucking sucks.

Well in that case the whole game should've been like that. You can't just make a whole half of the game a linear shooter but specifically add a non-linear level to it. It ruins the flow of the game.

It wasn't just that. It was the whole layout of the level. You have a linear straight shot to the sewers, which there's only one really viable path. Then you have 2 "Options" on how to get to each mansion, but there's only one real entrance for the mansions and you have to do them in order.
Still. It's not nearly as bad as The Haunted Cathedral

I didn't like war that much. The game lost its charm at that point. Something about it made it feel so disconnected from the rest of the game. If I had to take a guess why, it'd be the tone gave me a strong movie reference vibe (saving private ryan?). It's weird, because for me, the military minigames fit the game better than the war section.
