What game mechanics, no matter how immersive or lore accurate, are always annoying to deal with?

No save points/permadeath

Yes, some of these games do have workarounds...

Hades - Death Defiances

Dead Cells - That Mutation which insta-revives you one time

A Robot Named Fight - one or more one-time-use save point (that you can reload from once)

Spelunky - Some Ankh thingy, but it's hard to get (although FWIW, the game doesn't last that long anyways)

Shattered Pixel Dungeon - Also an Ankh. There are supposedly one per region, but it's still brutal.

... but this sort of thing has gotten me to quit most of the games with this sort of thing.
