What games do you refuse to play despite overwhelming critical acclaim?

[Departed]

There are a lot of games that I didn't like very much but I'm certainly willing to give another try one day. Games like Witcher 3 and RDR2 spring to mind, because both were games that everyone and their grandmother told me were the greatest games ever made, and while the open worlds were undeniably well realized and well lived in, and the writing was excellent, the gameplay for both games did nothing for me. In Witcher 3, the combat just never felt fun or exciting. It felt too much like RPG combat, which always felt for me like it lacked impact or reaction until the enemy is dead. And in RDR2, the missions were way too railroaded for my liking, which contradicted the more open ended nature of the world, and combat felt stale, which is sad because you look at modded RDR2 gunplay and it looks so exciting and fast paced.

I might give those two games a try again one day but I put at least twenty hours into both and wasn't enjoying myself. I do try to be more open minded about games, but conversely, I also much prefer arcade-y gameplay that's immediately gratifying, not games that feel like they're more about the story and cutscenes than the interactive parts.

The only games I can say that I will never touch are games like Hogwarts Legacy, due to JK Rowlings disgustingly gleeful transphobia. Or any of the Fallout games since the combat in each one looks thoroughly unenjoyable. Plus, I don't have enough love for Bioware to ignore the surplus of bugs.
