Halo, I tried to play reach but I got stuck in a burning building and didn't know where to go. Thankfully I could refund the collection

Ni No Kuni. I kept hearing so many great things about the game, but I found the combat dull and boring. I dropped it as soon as I got the second party member.

Celeste.

I don't usually like platformers and Celeste didn't change my mind.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The mechanics and boss fights got old quick.

I totally agree with BotW. So many people seem to love it, but it's just lots of empty land, boring/non-existent characters/story. It's just empty and there are no real pointers where to go.

Also, Zelda without dungeons doesn't feel right at all, and the shrines aren't a suitable replacement.

Do not care for open world crafting games. Minecraft, Day Z, fuck even the new Zelda looks to have some kind of crafting system. That just feels like endless fucking grinding to me.

Skyrim. I can't quite place it but there's something about it that hits the uncanny valley for me and I can't get immersed. I've tried to get into the game three times and it just never grabs me.

I hate the Persona franchise. I don't like the playstyle at all. It felt very uncomfortable to me.

For me it's the GTA games since San Andreas and Red Dead Redemption 2.

I still try GTA V and RDR2 once in a while as I love the worlds in those games. But they always feel grindy really fast and just don't manage to hold my attention. A shame, as RDR2 looks gorgeous and I love the western setting, but the gameplay just doesn't connect with me.

Also doesn't help that each time I want to try picking GTA V or RDR2 up again I end up starting from scratch as I have no idea what the control scheme was. Another thing that just doesn't resonate with me I guess. Perhaps its better with a controller, but as an avoid mouse & keyboard guy all my attempts to use one ended with utter frustration.
