Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again?

Myst! An oldie, but I had basically done this when the remastered version came out a few years ago and it was still a 10/10.
I keep trying Myst. First tried it when I was about 5 on my dad's PC, some 30 years ago. Every few years I'll give it another shot, spend a couple of hours before giving up. I like to think I'm good at puzzle games, and Myst has such legendary status that I refuse to look at a single hint. I will solve it off my own back. Its like a mini white whale.
My problem is I havent managed to solve a single puzzle yet. I cant even be sure ive identified where the first puzzle is.
As a puzzle game, Myst is usually cited as an example of what not to do. It was popular at the time for showing what CD-ROMs could do. Wonderful visuals, and I like the lore.
I heard a good way to judge a good puzzle in a game. When you struggled through it and figure it out, you say to yourself "I should have seen the solution sooner". You shouldn't feel like it wasted your time by being obtuse.
Myst puzzles feel obtuse all the time. Especially that damn tree combination puzzle.
