Disregarding lack of time, that is. Is there any particular mechanic you were not fond of? Was a game too difficult for you? Was it the overall enjoyment of the game?

Pic totally unrelated :]

Lords of the Fallen (remake) just felt a little too floaty to me. I might have ended up liking the game if I gave it more of a shot, but the very first boss was enough for me already. Maybe I'll get back to it at some point, but I doubt it

Dark Souls 2,3, and Bloodborne.

I'm just not good enough.

I had 20-30 hours into each one, and just wasn't making progress. Even if you're enjoying the story, not being able to progress just kinda sucks.

    Would difficulty options help you give it another try? It's a very divicive (?) topic, and I feel like it'd bring more good than bad to the genre

    I honestly don't know. I don't know if I would try them again, but a new game that was similar concepts and story, but had difficulty levels that allowed me to progress--despite generally sucking--might keep me playing it.
