Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?

Heard all the good things about Disco Elysium and found it on sale for the Steam Deck… Could not stand playing a character with traumatic brain injury. I thought I did something wrong generating the character, no, fanbase assures me that’s the way it’s supposed to be… Refunded it in less than an hour.
This was one I loved, but it wasn’t at all what I expected when I read the Steam blurb. “Be the kind of cop you want to be” or some such nonsense.
But, yeah, it’s basically an existential novel masquerading as a game, and if you don’t like (or at least find it interesting) spending time as the protagonist, then it makes sense to be a hard pass.

I could get info that game either. It looks amazing. I’m sure the experience is great, but it never really grabbed me.

It was marketed as a game, when really it’s an interactive novel. If you don’t like that kind of experience, you won’t like it.

My problem with the game was precisely that right out of the gate I need to take a lot of notes, as there’s no way I’m remembering said lore — what with my habit of occasionally taking a break for weeks if not months. Someone informed me that if I plug the game into Steam, I can employ its built-in notetaking feature instead of poking at my phone, but idk yet how usable that is.
