Whether you're the kind of person who obsesses over ticking off every notification on their phone, or the type who doesn't give a s**t and lets those little demons stack up, everyone can agree that there's little else in this world more satisfying than sorting out an in-game inventory until everything is packed nicely together.

It doesn't matter how the UI is laid out (games like Skyrim and the original Mass Effect seemed to revel in making this practice as difficult as possible), making sure you have everything in order - from your best weapons to those sentimental items you've kept since the early hours - is essential in enjoying the the game to the fullest.

For my money though, it will never get better than trying to cram as much as possible into your weapon case in Resident Evil 4. In that game, smart item management can literally mean the difference between life and death, and freeing up enough space so you can fit that rocket launcher in always makes you feel like a stacking badass.
