Rain World (I love it so much please take it away from me before I lose all of my free time):
- Very fluid procedural movement that takes 300+ hours to learn
- Torturous first 20 hours that most people give up during

I did play it for a while, but as you’ve said - I’ve eventually given up. I did see a few talks/videos about the game, and I really like what they are doing! Which is enough for me to enjoy the game, since I can appreciate a good design in theory. I had exactly the same experience with Pathologic - I’m just not patient enough to finish it, but I really love reading about it’s design and what they are trying to accomplish with it, even though it’s not for me.

yeah, I’ve never heard of anyone that didn’t give up on rain world once.
I personally gave up on it until I found out about a coop mod that you can use to play with a friend, and I played it with my friend (who also gave up on it once) until I got past that 20h that makes the game really fun.
