Topic: Games you've recently give up on

@PorkChopExpress I played the demo of it earlier this year and it didn't take me long before deciding not to buy it at launch. I'm sure it's a good game, but it doesn't seem to be so good that I need to experience it as soon as possible.

@GirlVersusGame Music and art style are important things for me in video games. I can sometimes ride it through if that is the only thing that I find grating. Metaphor Refantazio the music can sometimes do my head in, but most of the other stuff in the game I am loving. Monster Hunter World the music back at base did my head but that was on top of a few other niggles which eventually wore me down, and I gave up after about 20 hours.

@GirlVersusGame Good spot! I may check out the soundtrack for Payday 2, as I've never played the game.

Well it only took one day before I gave up on Hyrule Warriors Legends, lol. At first the game felt simple enough but once I got to the 4th stage (out of like 20), I kept getting a game over. The first time was because the enemies had invaded the main base and I couldn't get back to it in time. So I started the level over. Then I got a game over because one of my allies died. I wasted pretty much half an hour of playtime on this stage and I couldn't even finish it. And I was even playing on Easy difficulty! I feel like if I'm having this much trouble at the start of the game, then I can just imagine how much tougher it's going to get later on.

There's just too much you need to keep track of. You need to be constantly looking at your captured bases so that they won't get invaded, your allies and their positions as well as health, your side missions, your main missions, it's just too much management and it's really stressful. This game is just not my cup of tea, even if I like Zelda. It's too bad though because I was enjoying the story. Oh well.

Indiana Jones tbh.. For now at least..

I don't really give up on games. I plough on through to the bitter end even if I'm not enjoying it.

One of my rare recent walkaways was Tears of the Kingdom. I played around ten hours. I sometimes find it hard to get into games without interesting stories unless the gameplay is great - you know, a twin stick shooter, a tight 2D platformer, etc. I will almost certainly go back to this game at some point, but when I was playing it I just wanted something more interesting, something with a story to get into, so I put it on the backburner and it has been there for months.
