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?

I went through the same thing with Dark Souls. Got it because of its reputation of difficulty, saw it was as I expected mostly pattern memorization but also was put off by the game simply refusing to tell you anything about anything. Got to the Gaping Dragon and quit for about a year. DS3 then came out and I gave DS1 another go, finally clicked. Beat it. Beat 2. Bought 3 beat it, got its dlc then beat those. I now have all those games and the only one I haven't beaten is Sekiro. But I'm not going to say I will never beat it. Owl will be my bitch someday...
