I was going to do an almost identical thread and call it "Good games you don't enjoy" (as a response to the "overrated games" thread that I hit a lot of nerves with when I complained about Ocarina of Time).
The list for this thread includes, but is not limited to:
Grand Theft Auto V - Great game in virtually every respect, but I'm not a teenager anymore and I don't enjoy the edgy 'be a criminal, kill a hooker, steal your money back' nonsense. GTA has a great story and characters, but I don't have any desire to play as any of them. I can't relate to a Canadian psychopath, a wannabe gangster, or a rich asshole, and I got bored of 'drive around and do shit' gameplay that was still fresh on the PS2. Again, not a bad game, but its whole schtick isn't fun for me anymore.
Horizon Zero Dawn - I can't actually figure out why I don't like this game. I tried playing it for the better part of 20 hours and I never got invested. The art direction, combat, writing, and pretty much every element was solid (Except the facial animations), but I didn't enjoy a minute of this game. cool to watch, but I did not enjoy playing it, which is a shame because I really wanted to like it but it always felt like a chore.
The Last Of Us - I think this is the closest of the three to a game that I just don't think works. Sure, from a narrative and presentation standpoint it might very well be the best game ever, but from a gameplay standpoint it's just unpleasant for me. I mean, it's not BAD, but steath based games have never been my thing, no matter how much I love the story and characters. Plus, the combat mechanics are pretty bland and simplistic in all the wrong ways. Another game I am so glad exists, but it's not for me.
There are many others, but I figure that's a good start. (And, despite being labeled here as a PS4 fangirl time and again, two of these are well loved PS exclusives).
