This question popped into my head when I was playing Void Stranger. I just got done with the game and will probably never play it again despite not finishing it. The game is genuinely amazing but it just gets so demanding as you progress through it. I ended up watching the second half of the game on YouTube.

What is your favorite game that you feel is really cool and special but you never felt the pull of actually finishing it, and why?

Progression wise? There's less stuff to research, it doesn't take nearly as many resources to hit milestones, and the map is 100% static and the same every time you play, with far fewer enemies to slow you down or destroy things. It's so much faster to reach the top tier in Satisfactory than Factorio in my experience, even before the last major update that added blueprinting. Blueprinting makes it just that much faster to scale up.
