Oh I mean first by the way. I check the doors after but I go to the end of the hallway first.

I want to make sure I know what's going on in the hallway in case I have to run away from one of the doors after.

I check the doors first because the end of the hallway might trigger a cutscene where you can't go back afterwards.

Most of the doors are going to be broken/jammed/locked, so you have to check all of them to make sure you find one that opens.

Does it matter to anyone if it's a first person game or a top down view of the room.

I feel like if I can see the whole hallway once I walk into it I might check the doors first.

Not really, I'll check all the doors first regardless

if the door looks different from the other doors, like if its shinier or reinforced or something, ill definitely check that out

If im presented with a long corridor lined with identical tiny rooms that only contain like one enemy or crummy item apiece, i'll just play a different game
