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?

    Arpgs like Diablo or pathofexile are my “will always play” games. Like you I’ve played the mmos, shooters, and others and feel like I’ve “finished” those genres and am satisfied not going back unless with friends.

    It’s both a nice feeling but also a sad one. I still follow fps games and watch videos of them, but playing them… Meh

      If you haven’t looked into it yet check out Last Epoch. It will be launching 1.0 on Feb 21, but the early access has been amazing.

        I’ve jumped in a few times since they started letting people play years ago! I’m a big fan and am eager to give 1.0 a whirl.

        I like how they are embracing the solo vs trading play style and leaning into rewarding both types of players uniquely with power for that choice.

          great stuff. I’m really looking forward to it too. I like how the skill modification trees work and all the various synergies that are available.

          I haven’t paid much attention to the single player vs multiplayer stuff because I’m trying to go in blind enough to not try and min/max from day 1. I feel that pushes me to not enjoy the game as much since i’m skipping over experimenting with builds or skills. I’m really hyped. Feb 21 can’t get here soon enough.
