    Wolfenstein: The New Colossus.

    Just doesn’t hold my interest the way The New Order did, the stealth seems to be a lot worse and buggy which makes it hard to avoid enemy reinforcements from being summoned, and while the suit is cool that you get, the lowered max health makes the game a lot more frustrating. I’ve beat The New Order twice, I still have yet to beat The New Colossus.

    Adding to Fallout New Vegas, which others have mentioned, Skyrim. I got into modding but then sold my Xbox and haven’t yet gotten into the fuller glory of modding it on PC. And, anyhow, I don’t really think of it as a game to finish, just a game to play.

    Also haven’t completed BG3 despite liking it. I suffer in games what I suffer in life: the desire to experience it all and not close any options. Which is to say, I struggle with the reality of consequences and so avoid choices and commitments

    Unfortunately Stardew Valley. But now I don’t have much time and I lost my save file, so I would have to start all over again.

    Baldurs Gate 3, The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2 and many more. These games are all great and I liked them. But sooner or later I just stop playing. I can’t even tell why. Maybe I am not a story gamer or the world’s are a bit to big.

    The one that still pains me to this day is Black Mesa.

    I thoroughly enjoyed it, I even played it before the last chapter was done. I was really excited to go through the redesigned Xen levels, and was enjoying every minute.

    Then they throw that massive spider into a huge arena filled with micro obstacles that prevent you from properly avoid all the multiple types of attacks it throws at you, while absorbing insane amounts of rockets.

    I’m not a skilled gamer but I was moving through the game just fine until someone decided to crank the difficulty to eleven.

    That killed the game right there for me. Other than that, it’s a brilliant game that I heartily recommend.

    Almost all of them. I rarely finish a game. For a variety of reasons, all added together. The closer I get to the end, the more I want to put it off if I’m enjoying a game, so I will keep finding more and more nuanced stuff to do instead. A new game comes out and I eventually completely forget one of the 10 games I’m currently actively playing when it temporarily becomes 11, then back down to 10. My friends stop playing a game, but my character relied on them… maybe I’ll just start over with a character that can solo. Maybe that game will just go on the pile of “not today, but I’ll play it soon”, until it’s been in the pile so long that there isn’t much point anymore.

    I should mention I am autistic and likely adhd but I haven’t got that diagnosed yet. So while some of this is probably normal behaviours, some of it probably isn’t too.

    Noita.

    I’ve gotten the Greed ending once (defeating Kolmisilmä and “completing” The Work), but I’ve never even considered attempting the true ending.

        I’m not experienced in the usual “hard games” but it feels like Noita is the Dark Souls of 2D gaming. If I get to the 3rd area I’m hanging on by a thread and every boss has totally owned me. Is everyone using like invulnerability potions or something to get through this? I do neglect potions a lot.

    It would be easier for me to list the games I had a good time with and did finish. I think the most recent one was Outer Wilds. And that was over a year ago. And even that I put down before finishing in a sense because I started but never finished the DLC

        Too many chores. Too much filler in between (very good) puzzles. Traversal way too boring.

        All imo of course. I feel the same way about almost all open world games these days. I don’t play video games to do chores.

        If I could play just the dungeons in BOTW & TOTK all in a row, 10/10. I wish lol.

    I mostly play roguelikes, which is to say there’s a lot of games I haven’t finished and have a great time with.

    The last big title I played that was really enjoyable for the first half was unicorn overlord. And I even played through the first half of a couple of times. After that micromanaging the units gets annoying, so I put it down and haven’t picked it back up.

    That’s the last game I really enjoyed that I didn’t finish. But I like to buy games on sale and check them out, partially because I have an interest in-game design and game theory. So even if I only play a game for a few hours, if I get it for cheap I’m still pretty satisfied.

    Metroid Dread. I got stuck on an enemy and couldn’t go forward or backward. Basically met my match, put it down and never played again, which was my enemy, because I didn’t get better.

      I was in same danger until I just tryharded the difficult bosses. They’re really tough compared to previous Metroids and I haven’t got used to that. Btw, did you drop your game soon after release? A post-release update gave a rookie difficulty mode that might give some mercy on next playthroughs.

    Hollow Knight, I got about 70% through, but then it got too difficult. Still enjoyed the part that I played though.

      I absolutely loved that game until it got too hard for me or I got too anxious about losing my souls (putting me in an even worse position from them on). Probably also about 70% in.

      Sadly I played it on Switch, otherwise I would have used some kind of mod to lower the difficulty. Doing that would have sucked, but never finishing the game sucks even more…
