What's a game that, in your (yet unpublished) book, you consider an absolute classic that you must confess to never beating?

For me, it is the original Legend of Zelda on the NES. Yep. Never beat it. Granted, I have had numerous save files for the game (press & hold the Reset button while turning off the console), and I have picked up digital copies of it on Nintendo system since, but I have never actually played the game in its entirety. Not sure why. I mean, it isn't like I was ever stuck at a certain puzzle in the game and just raged quit. I've had ample opportunity. I DO think the game is paramount classic that has influenced generations of game development. I just never finished.

How about you?

🤔. It took me years of restarting to finally finish dragon age origins even though it's one of my most loved games. Witcher 3 also took me far longer even though it's one of my favorites.

As for never finished, I don't think I ever finished morrowind even though I spent loads of hours and love it.

I hear you on the Skyrim selection. I originally played it on the PS3, & got discouraged with its (then) issue with crashing after trying to load games beyond the half way mark. Even though I got it also on the Xbox360, I never got back into it, leaving it unfinished...
