fairly weak structure
metroid does it better when entire zones are locked off behind an upgrade, from the varia suit to power bomb to some dumb door you need a specific laser to go through : they are presented to you early and they stick with you until you can get through
HK has this but in a very limited capacity, and it's not nearly as impactful
also if you have upgrades in your game you probably want to have the character model change over time to give a sense of progression
guess it could be a matter of preference

I have a feeling they cut a lot of shit before shipping it : some upgrades like diving in acid are extremely situational and underwhelming
