While I agree I also at the same time had the opposite problem - I would see where I needed to go, get there with some quick platforming, then realise I accidentally skipped half of the platforming challenge. There is an early part with some boxes on conveyor belts where you are supposed to ride them round, jumping over various obstacles, but you can just jump straight up right at the end - which is what I did before even realising that wasn't the proper way.
But yes I think on balance I came up more against invisible walls and incomplete geometry (like a piece of machinery that looks like it has little ledges you should be able to stand on, but the hitbox is actually just a vertical box), which stopped me from platforming around in a way I thought I should be able to. It tries to railroad you with things like that, but I don't think it particularly succeeds at that either because often you can get around in unintended ways (with the ever present risk of getting stuck).
Anyway, I'm glad people generally enjoy it more than me I suppose
It does look incredible!
