Man, that's actually so sad. But I guess most gamers will find that one game they want to like (because it's critically acclaimed, their friends are super into it, etc.), but it just won't work.
I had that experience with Valheim. On paper it looks like a fun viking-esque Minecraft with a bit more RPG elements. In practice I just found out cumbersome and the gameplay loop felt just plain boring/unsatisfying.
Games that have stuck with you?
Have you played a game that stayed in your head long after you played it?...
