I always try to figure out which direction the game wants me to go so I can try going the opposite way first.

I mean, we can't risk advancing the game and leaving unexplored areas behind

It's almost frustrating to play something with no intended path because it takes away my option to deliberately take the wrong one.

There usually is an intended path regardless. Signposting is definitely something that's done even in open world.

It’s not always explained though. A lot of games use flames/torches/lights though. Vast majority of games follow the same tropes unfortunately.
