Cherimoya?

Decent list

Bloodborne for me. Everyone talked about how hard it is, but the game just encourages grinding until you hit your natural talent level. Plus, the story was gross.

Same for me. I preserved and eventually got good. Then the story went from wierd to gross and there just wasn’t enough love of the game for me to push through.

Grandia on ps1. I refuse to replay it out of a morbid certainty that it’s basic as all hell. But it was my first jrpg and it blew my mind.

I swear it took me weeks to make it to the wall, but searching my memory it’s the first scene after your hometown.
