Doom 3. I can play it for maybe an hour and a half at a time. I love the game, but it grinds me down.
Is that for it's horror aspect?
Kinda. It's not really scary so much as unnerving.
I feel you - that game is an exhausting sensory overload experience.
What kinda awesome about it though is that it still looks good! Artwork > resolution
That reminds me that I had the same problem with Dark Souls 3. Playing it solo the first time was hard to get through. Same thing with Dark Souls 1 and Demon's Souls. The atmosphere and the dark storyline makes me feel depressed or something. Enderal: Forgotten Stories was even worse, but I played it with youtube videos and podcasts in the background so it wasn't as bad. I did finish them all but Demon's Souls since they are stellar experiences.
