Have you played a game that stayed in your head long after you played it?

For me, Outer Wilds would be that game. I feel like I haven't stopped thinking about it since I beat it a couple years ago.

I've tried to like Hades a few times over the years since it came out. I know I'm in the minority, it's generally a well liked game, but I just don't see the appeal. The gameplay loop is repetitive, difficult, and unrewarding, the main character is deliberately unlikable, the dialogue with the NPCs in the hub is repetitive and trying too hard to be funny. I didn't enjoy a single second playing that game, and its one I actually paid real money for, I bought it and genuinely wanted to like it. I suppose I'm not the target audience.

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.
