The long dark
Fallout 4, Elden Ring (I got around 3 fights left), Borderlands 3, Dying Light, Dead Island
honestly most single player games. While I enjoy the games, I much prefer to play multiplayer games or games that let me unwind better.
The Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
I got to the point where I nearly finished it, but I just stopped playing. I was enjoying it so I figured that I'd wait a few years till the whole of it was out to finish the first part. That way I can go through it and not have to be stuck listening to news and rumors as to when the story would finish.
Zelda Twilight - there's a bit where you have a frog like monster that gives me trypophobia. I never was able get past that bit.

I have to restart Hollow Knight because I got stuck in an impossible area called the king's dream I think? I got fed up with the difficult challenge and could exit it so I quit
Finally finished Pathfinder WOTR. Kept remaking characters and then finally played one all the way through. Took forever though.
Dishonored 2. Got tired of going for pacifist route to get the "good ending".
Pacifist? I beat them all up, Batman style. Every guard on every level got severe concussion, but nobody died, on my Good playthrough.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (12 hours played). Wasteland 2 (44 hours played). Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous (49 hours played).
And many others but those are probably the ones where I put more hours in before quitting.
I got like 40 hours into MGSV and I just got burnt out on it. I feel that going back I would probably have a better time but the first time I was obsessively doing the side missions and it just killed it for me.
Oh yeah, MGSV. Think I got to 50 hours, realised I was only halfway through, and put it away forever. Great game, but far too long.
I love the MGS series, I used to play the first MGS over and over again. I played and loved 2 despite Raiden, loved 3, loved 4 despite Kojima's insistence that actually the best gameplay is a movie length cutscene. I was so amped for 5, played through Ground Zeroes, launched 5, finished the escape from the hospital at the start, and haven't played it since. Somehow 5 is where the weebery got to me. I need to give it another chance.
Summoner. Originally had it on ps2, now on steam. I pick it up every few years, but have never finished it.
I'm sure my list is crazy long, but:
- Factorio
- Fortresscraft evolved
- Any witcher game
- I never accomplish my goals in star citizen before a wipe
- I never accomplished my goals in wow before the next patch hit
And probably a lot I forgot about. My gaming career is a chaotic trail filled with the wreckage of unfinished games.
Pretty much every GTA game, unfortunately. I always get distracted. I bucked down and beat RDR2 last month, and it was amazing.
Also Cyberpunk.
Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto Vice City. The missions are incredibly difficult.
And I never thought I'd finish Grand Theft Auto San Andreas until I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with Big Smokes Mission.

Persona 5. Very good gameplay but too damn long.
I have 371 games in my Steam account, not including any GOG or Epic games. I have 1 game with all the achievements and my average completion rate is 25%. I would say I rarely "finish" a game. I just move on to the next one. And that's ok with me.
Heretic, Hexen, and Hexen II.
Shameful to say but The Witcher 3 WH. I love the game and the plot but somehow I always get overwhelmed and drop off.
Monster Hunter Iceborne and Rise. The problem is that I keep trying to get all the Hunting Horns! You can't get every weapon without going crazy. Love those games though.
More games than I would like to admit. But since I got a steam deck my backlog has actually been shrinking a bit!
Journey to the strange planet. I had a ton of fun playing that but I quit right before the final boss. Came back to it a month or so later and the final boss is a boss rush. Not that difficult, but I forget which items you use to beat them all (they're all weak to one item). I basically have to learn the game again to beat it.
Divinity Original Sin Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle Yoshi's Crafted World Skyrim Ixion (I definitely wanna go back to this, though) Donkey Kong Country (all 3) Fallout: New Vegas Fallout 4 (at least, I don't THINK I got a credits roll) Space Chem
A lot of other people's nostalgia games. Controls were so bad back in the day. The most notable example would be Vampire Masquerade.
There's an indie platformer called Unepic that's genuinely one of my favourite games, one of the few I've bought more than once to have it on all of my consoles and my PC, that I've started multiple times. There's one boss I get stuck on, every single time. Normally, I'll just sleep on it when I can't get past a boss (literally, to give my brain time to solidify that muscle memory I built up in my attempts that day, try it out yourself!), the next day my playthrough almost always goes a bit smoother. But not with this game, oooh boy, not at all with this game. I end up rage quitting, every single time
Shadows of Mordor. I've started the game a few times. Thought "oh yeah this is a game I could sink hours into". Then I get bored, turn the game off, and won't touch it for another year.
