I don't mind yellow paint as much as it is a sign of the broader issue of big games trying to be idiot-proof. If a game has yellow paint I expect it to be as easy as it can be outside of giving me literal god mode.

I'm also one of Those People that will immediately negate a star from a review if I cannot jump in your first person game. Take that for what it is.
It's irrational, but innate.
Jumping could have absolutely no use in the story you are telling, but once I smash Space and nothing happens you have immediately earned a 4 star at best.
Same goes for no fast walk/shift sprint.
Don't punish fast readers/imprison players in your narrative if you want them to finish the game.
The fact that only three interesting things happen in your game shouldn't be stretched out by a hobbled character that can only crawl along and is doomed to absorb atmosphere that was copy/pasted from assets.
