Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.

I don't dislike Terraria per se, and I highly respect the dedication of both the devs and the community to it.

However, each time I try getting into it, I would make a basic house, spelunk a cave... and then forget about the game for a while. I don't know why, but I just have trouble with games where you have to set your own goals

Yeah I had no concept of what to do in Terraria.

I am fine with games not telling me what to do cause I love Tunic and Outer Wilds but also there is still a somewhat obvious somewhat linear story available if you want it. The "do it yourself sandbox" games struggle to draw me in fast enough for me to not get bored and confused of learning an entire games worth of mechanics and optimization for no payoff before I put it down. And never pick it back up.
