BG3. I moved after I started playing and haven't had time to really go back to it and, at this point, kinda forget everything.
Celeste. Like done others have mentioned, I just met my match, for too hard, and I lost interest.
I almost never "finish" games. I tend to prefer games that either can't be finished or are of sufficient scope that following a main quest line is only a small portion of what the game has to offer. I generally think most game writing is bad, and am not playing for a story.
Most cases where I finish games, I consider it a letdown because I think there should be more.
Sekiro. Either I would finish it or I would just break something. Most likely the second
Most of them...
Been meaning to go back and finish Subnautica. I had a good time with it but one sea moth got destroyed bc I couldn't find the zap key in time and I got ejected from another when it was really deep and couldn't go back down and get it without collecting more resources.
I enjoyed the game but I wish it was like 10% easier with QoL improvements, like having a bigger inventory, your ship respawns, etc.
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.
Bloodborne.
I love the aesthetic and the setting, but the gameplay just doesn't click with me. It's clearly very well polished and designed, but I have never been good at third person melee games and soulsborne stuff cranks the required precision up too much for me. Instead I've just listened to dozens of hours of Bloodborne lore to get the experience.
Darks Souls 3, Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, Skyrim.
I love RPGs but hate boss fights, for some reason. Once I feel I've done enough exploration and character development, I invariably lose all interest close to the last boss.
Honestly, the point of BoTW isn’t the ending. It’s much more about the adventure and exploration. I turned off all the HUD stuff and just enjoyed exploring the world. By the time I fought Gannon, it was trivial because of how powerful Link had become.
But it was worth beating it because
Tap for spoiler
after Gannon and finishing the main DLC quests, you get a sick dirt bike and get to tear ass around Hyrule like it’s an open world Mario Kart.
Zelda combat gives me way too many heart palpations. I also tried for like 2 hours to take down a guardian with shield blocking (eventually did) and I really don't think I got any better at it.
The legend of Zelda Twilight princess.
I finished the last dungeon, collected all the extra stuff and every side quest I could find. I literally got right up to the lead up to the final Gannon fight... Then I was like "meh, I'm done".
i do this all the time. when i get close to finishing the game, i HAVE to go do all the side quests i neglected to finish along the way. Then i get burned out and beforei do the final boss... But my SO has similar video game tastes as me, so i end up just watching him do the final boss on his save hahaha
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.
Sokoban.
Dying light
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.
Tears of the Kingdom. It just got too grindy for me. I rarely play anything any more anyways.
Some of the series of BioShock.
Ultima IV : Quest Of The Avatar
I played that game for WEEKS, found all of the places, found all the people, found all the dungeons, figured out all the spell recipes, spent a good amount of time meditating (my character is meditating and the music is really pretty so I may as well just chill and think for a bit), and I even learned about excommunication. but did I finish it? No. My buddy Jason finished it, though. :) (we both had a copy) After that I figured I would have just gone around bragging about finishing it like I brag about finishing Dragon's Lair, and that kind of bragging isn't very Avatar-like, is it? So I was content to have helped my friend finish it. Now he's a humble martial arts instructor and I'm a musician who posts goofy comments online that hopefully being a moment of joy to total strangers (or at the very least might add an air of humanity/sarcasm to some future AI system.)
I really enjoyed the Ultima games, especially VII Serpent Isle. Got pretty far on VIII but that one was pretty buggy and froze too much for me to finish.
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
