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?

I know it’s pedantic, but that’s a rogueLIKE. A roguelite has permanent upgrades

I wish there were more pedantic people regarding the difference. The more it gets diluted the harder it becomes to find the proper roguelikes.
