Perfection is a fantasy, something not really attainable by anything, no matter what perspective you give it. However, certain video games can come so close to that in our minds, that if it wasn’t for one little detail, they would be that fabled 10/10. If you can’t look past it, though, it isn’t a small detail.
This is what Reddit users decided to discuss on a popular thread. Some complaints are about frustrating gameplay, while others stem from emotional moments that are simply too difficult to revisit. These are the games players love almost unconditionally, except for that one unforgettable section they wish they could skip forever.
IMDb
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune
The original Uncharted remains a fun adventure, but many players dread the lengthy jet ski sequences. Awkward controls, constant enemy fire, and explosive barrels make this section one of the series’ least beloved moments.
IMDb
Fallout 4: Far Harbor
Far Harbor is widely praised as Fallout 4’s best expansion, yet DiMA’s memory puzzles divide players to this day. The abstract block-building gameplay interrupts the DLC’s otherwise excellent pacing and atmosphere.
IMDb
Dragon Age: Origins
Few RPGs are as beloved as Dragon Age: Origins, but the Fade sequence remains infamous. Its maze-like structure and repeated shapeshifting puzzles often turn replays into a chore despite the game’s outstanding storytelling.
IMDb
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
The hospital prologue delivers an unforgettable first impression, but its lengthy scripted nature makes repeat playthroughs less appealing. Many fans wish they could jump straight into the game’s open-world stealth sandbox.
IMDb
Red Dead Redemption 2
Rockstar’s western masterpiece earns widespread praise, yet its extended snowbound opening divides players. While essential for establishing the story, the slow-paced tutorial makes some fans hesitate before starting another playthrough.
IMDb
NieR: Automata
For many players, the game’s biggest obstacle isn’t gameplay at all. After reaching Ending E, the emotional conclusion feels so perfect that replaying the story risks diminishing one of gaming’s most memorable finales.
The Last of Us Part II
Its gameplay, visuals, and performances receive widespread acclaim, but the relentless emotional weight can be exhausting. Even fans who consider it a masterpiece often admit it’s difficult to revisit such an emotionally draining experience.
IMDb
Cyberpunk 2077
Night City’s quests and combat shine, but the Braindance investigation sequences frequently interrupt the pacing. While they serve an important narrative purpose, many players find repeat viewings slow compared to the rest of the game.
IMDb
Outer Wilds
Outer Wilds is celebrated for its remarkable sense of discovery, yet that brilliance creates its only real flaw. Once you know the solutions to its mysteries, the experience can never truly be replicated.
Steam
It Takes Two
Hazelight’s cooperative adventure is filled with inventive mechanics, but one infamous scene involving Cutie the elephant shocked many players. Its unexpectedly dark tone remains the game’s most controversial and emotionally uncomfortable moment.
IMDb
Spiritfarer
Spiritfarer blends cozy gameplay with heartfelt storytelling, but its emotional impact can be overwhelming. Players often form deep attachments to the spirits they help, making farewells surprisingly difficult to experience more than once.
IMDb
Ghost of Tsushima
Sucker Punch’s samurai epic delivers one heartbreaking turning point that many players never forget. The loss of Jin Sakai’s loyal horse is emotionally devastating enough that some fans dread replaying the story.
IMDb
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Skellige’s enormous collection of map question marks has become legendary among completionists. Clearing every smugglers’ cache across the islands is so repetitive that many players simply ignore them on future playthroughs.
IMDb
Final Fantasy X
The journey itself remains one of the RPG genre’s finest, but earning every Celestial Weapon can be maddening. Lightning dodging, Chocobo racing, and Blitzball requirements test patience as much as player skill.
IMDb
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
The underwater escort section near the end of Metal Gear Solid 2 stands out for the wrong reasons. Slow movement and protecting Emma Emmerich combine two mechanics that many players consider among gaming’s least enjoyable.
