I'm embarrassed by the number of award-winning games I have unfinished on my hard drive, but every time I fire them up I think "i'm not enjoying this".

Am I doing it wrong? Should I be mainlining my ADHD meds before trying to play?

There's no real point trying to finish a game you don't like, that's just how it be sometimes. For me i knew I'd enjoy the game from the first sequence of waking up and dying trying to grab the tie.

I have a hard rule that if I'm not having fun before the refund period ends i just refund. I don't like the "oh but it gets good at hour 3000" kinda shit it has to grab me immediately or I'm not playing. There's a high chance that if it doesn't grab me immediately I'll never finish it.
