Color Coded Puzzle/Door indicators

[overencumbered]

Would like to see this in other games as well, but playing Remnant 2 got me thinking about it. I don't like wasting time on a puzzle or a door that can't be completed yet. Running around an area wondering if I've missed picking something up etc.
I'd love to see a simple indicator, for example a colored ring around the X (on controller) icon when interacting with a door.
Green could mean you have everything you need, or are in the correct room/area for this door/puzzle.
Blue could mean you can solve/open soon but maybe don't have what you need yet (but you're in the right area).
Red would mean that the puzzle/door is unsolvable right now (items you need aren't available until later) or is mission locked.
There's a certain door in one area I couldn't open and I ran around a bunch trying to make sure I hadn't missed anything, not knowing that particular door would become available eventually through story progression. A simple red ring around the X would have let me know "don't waste your time here right now," and I could have moved on.
Would just be a nice QoL thing that lets you move through the game without wasting too much time with something that isn't necessary at that time.
Might also be nice to have the option to turn this on/off in options for those who don't want the help.
Anyway, it's a tiny complaint for an amazing game!

an interesting idea. however colour is not the best indicator because of people with various colour blindness issues.

but most of the time it can be somewhat obvious if you have missed something and theres only a small handful of places that needs items from different areas to complete.

Probably the only kind of puzzle hint i personally would like to see is a "COOP only puzzle" notification where its impossible to do something solo and not waste your time trying to find out how to open a door thats impossible for you (Endairas End coop door)

I had no idea there were coop only doors as well! Guess I'm going to have to play online at some point :)
