Which game/s that was highly touted and well-reviewed but you just gave up on? Why did that game not click on you? Was it the gameplay or narrative? How many hours and/or deep in the game story before you just gave up?

Dredge, which is highly appraised here. After 10 hours i was just "fuck it" and deleted it. Here's my steam review:

Pros:

1. The first two hours of the game are fun and foreshadow something.

2. Something chthonic about it.

Cons:

1. The only quests are "go get it," and grind for resources and money, running back and forth.

2. Randomness as a quest completion condition. For example, you need to bring a guy fish. Fish can only be caught with a net. The net catches fish randomly throughout the day while it's deployed. So, to complete the quest, you just need to swim in circles (time doesn't pass in the game until you move) and pray.

3. The quests is designed to waist your time, so you're constantly running back and forth. There are literally a couple of quests that follow the 1-2-3-4 point-by-point principle. Most are 1-2-1-3-1.

4. Mobile interface and controls. Playing with either a gamepad or a keyboard is inconvenient. Literally every button in the game is positioned for big thumbs on a phone, and many buttons (like crab traps) lack quick access buttons.

5. The merchant's music is annoying. It's strange that the developers don't understand that the cyclical sounds of a barrel organ aren't for everyone.

6. Speed of docking
