I'm embarrassed by the number of award-winning games I have unfinished on my hard drive, but every time I fire them up I think "i'm not enjoying this".

Am I doing it wrong? Should I be mainlining my ADHD meds before trying to play?

Watch a lets play of the game where it goes over all the different options you can take.

Elysium's RPG element of probability based skill checks ruined the game for me because at the second half of the game it felt like I was just grinding for skill checks rather than enjoying the story. Maybe its a skill issue, but I didn't want to play Elsyium for its RPG mechanics.

If you removed the CRPG aspect of it you basically get a 3D visual novel/point and click detective adventure which feels a whole lot better than save scumming bazinga skill points and level up stats. Thoughts were cool though.

Edit: Also the Windows version of the game had a horrid load time issue between level areas at least on my hardware. The proton Linux version had no such issue.
