What's that trope where you're playing a game and you assume it's going to be a stupid video game, and a mechanic will be a certain way that most games will use to get a point across or what have you, but in actual fact the developers of this game were good about it. So the mechanic actually makes sense and is realistic.
Unfortunately this has the side effect of causing confusion since people have grown accustomed to the usual shitty mechanic.
Can't for the life of me remember what this trope is called but it just killed me playing The Witness when a puzzle was more realistic than I'd figured, and my tunnel vission caused me to lose it completely.
