This question popped into my head when I was playing Void Stranger. I just got done with the game and will probably never play it again despite not finishing it. The game is genuinely amazing but it just gets so demanding as you progress through it. I ended up watching the second half of the game on YouTube.

What is your favorite game that you feel is really cool and special but you never felt the pull of actually finishing it, and why?

Not my absolute favourite game, but one that I loved is Kingdom Come: Deliverance. But I just don’t have the time to invest into relearning the combat system anymore. Which is a shame because I think the world it creates is amazing and you can get a bit lost in it.

Didn't you find the dialogues in the game very bland? This plus the clunky combat system really put me off?

I don’t think the dialog was that bad, not great but passable. I guess I looked past a lot of issues, performance, combat, because I just wanted to keep exploring the world.

Yes, the world was beautiful, and I really liked the idea of the game, but for me a big part of the game enjoyment is the story and this game was too shallow.

I fucking loved that game. I was immersed immediately, running around town fucking shit up with my boys, getting in fights, getting in trouble, it was incredible.

I played it constantly for a few weeks, never even approached the ending. Then at some point I was immensely powerful, kitted to the nines, my friends were all dead, and I was just some random nameless Knight errant fighting goons and all the magic was gone. I haven't played it since. Doubt I ever will.

Can't wait for a sequel though
