- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Parasite Eve.
When I first played it the setting and such seemed so cool...but the story and dialogue are actually quite cringe and cliche.
I remember the opening cutscene blowing my little mind
I still get nostalgic when I see it !
7th Saga. It's a turn based top down RPG (similar to Final Fantasy 1 or Dragon Warrior 1). The games AI sometimes just kills you (and takes great delight in it). Easily the most frustrating RPG I've played.
Blaster Master for the Nintendo (NES) as well. Instead of evil AI you get evil level design that wants to kill you.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to have a sandwich and play some Leisure Suit Larry 3.
Persona 3. It was my first persona game, I loved the characters and the story and it introduced me to the VN medium. I played the port to switch which had quality of life changes, but I do not want to Tartarus again.
That's fair. I played through reload when it came out, but I couldn't get through the answer. I really enjoyed the story, but so much Tartarus without enough between it was like eating dry cinnamon.
Space Empires V
It's very old, unfinished and jank as fuck. The ai was never very good and could be steamrolled easily with the right tech tree. But those first few turns while exploring and setting up colonies without knowing exactly which tech your nearest rivals would have or if they were planning an invasion was always very fun. Then it would turn into a tedious logistics game of trying to move your fleets or decommission ships that took you the majority of the game to build.
Also, Space Rangers 2.
It's like an amalgum arcady space shooter but somehow turnbased and space RPG text adventure. It was always very buggy with a UI that is ugly as hell.
Megaman Zero games. Even when I was a kid I probably only got past 2 bosses but every time I try to replay them I can never get past the tutorial bosses. Beautiful games but man are they punishing.
