Which games are the worst offenders for letting you upgrade a character/inventory only to lose it all part way through the game. (alien.top)

I am playing Horizon Zero Dawn and haven’t gotten to the first main event, but it gives me this feeling like if I upgrade all my equipment now it might be for nothing. I know that is not the case, I looked it up, but what are some games that are the worst offenders? One I can think of is Aerith in the original FF7.

Shadows has the same issue as Dragon Age Inquisition called "Get out of the Hinterlands" except you need to just get out of the city. Once you stop trying to get every shiny buable on the map and progress the story the burn out goes away. There's so much back tracking you can do 1-2 things on the map each visit and you'll get everything rather than spending 10 hours upfront. Same applies for AC Valhalla.

Yeah, I'm a collector, and you'd think I would have learned by now that everything can be collected post game. If you happen upon something, cool. But there's no real need to spend 3 hours thoroughly checking every corner.

But god damn it, I know I'll do it anyways.
