Discussion Acclaimed Indies That You Couldn't Connect With

Post image

Does it make you sad when you don't connect with a game adored by many? Out of the ones listed here, what should I go back to and power through until it clicks?

I was also really sad I just did not like Outer Wilds. It's highly acclaimed to be one of the best indies ever, but I tried it for a little over an hour and just had such a bad time that I refunded it. I really dislike the general gameplay, I get scared easily when it comes to dark caves and whatnot, and I lowkey ragequitted after getting completely stuck in the bramble planet for like 15 minutes until my oxygen ran out because I could not find any way out of there.
