Dark Souls 2. A coworker gave me a steam code for it after I told him I wasn’t really a big fan of games where you just have to memorize opponent movesets. He said he’d gift it to me if I gave it an honest try, and I did.

And I didn’t like it. Didn’t understand the hype, didn’t have any idea what was going on with me dying and transforming or something, or why there were weird ghosts of other players all over the map. Maybe it makes sense if you know the genre but I didn’t like the gameplay and didn’t get any lore/story, so I ditched it.
