There are games that you find too hard, and games that you find too easy. There are games that you find enthralling, and games that you find boring. There are games that suck hundreds of hours out of your life, and games that your play contentedly for fifteen minutes, put away for a couple of days, and then play for fifteen more minutes.
But if you're like any of the people with a backlog of games from Steam, GOG, or the like, there are probably games that you've picked up and played for a while, gotten distracted, and just... not quite gotten back to.
Maybe they were decent, but you just got out of the mood to play first-person shooters. Maybe they had a particularly difficult or tedious segment in the middle of otherwise well-paced game play. Maybe something else just caught your attention, and then another thing, and then another thing, until... Dammit, which button was "kick the door", and which was "throw a grenade", again...?
So out of curiosity: do you have games that you keep thinking in the back of your mind "I should get back to that at some point"?
I picked up "Crysis" from GOG a while back, and it's occupying that space for me. It's kind of a thrill when a plan works out, but then I remember all the trudging around in stealth mode that led up to that moment and can't quite bring myself to return.
