There's one opinion that I've been afraid to say out loud forever because people are so passionate about it... Disco Elysium. I love rpgs and I love choice-based, narrative-driven games. But there were two main things which drove me crazy:
I'm with you on this one. I got moderately stuck at one point pretty early on in the game (I'm not sure, but I think my save was probably bugged). Anyway, I put game down and never touched it again. Didn't feel like I had lost anything at all.
I've had a hard time finishing the game because of #2. DE is such a weird blend of "the devs thought of everything" and "all conversations are railroaded into insanity". What at first felt like a game allowing the player to explore and develop political views in an alternate universe is actually more of a hamfisted, cynical parody of all possible idealogies. I think the moment I got South Park vibes (not from the writing, but from the " everyone is stupid " vibe) is when I was doomed to never finish it. That said, I actually love so much about the game, I want to enjoy and finish it. I just find it so tiring.
