This is a genre I've always wanted to like, but have such a hard time enjoying. I mean there are so many beautiful games out there under this umbrella, Hollow Knight, Ender Lillies, Moon Scars, Lost Song.

All of these games have such an amazing atmosphere and I just can't beat them because I always end up getting lost and never really knowing what the intended path is. That feeling of being lost is so frustrating that I just drop it and move on. Such a shame too, I really liked Ender Lilies.

I wholly agree with you on the patience thing too.
