Sekiro: If this had any kind of leveling mechanic, it might've been my favorite FromSoft game. Because it did not, it is my least favorite. I guess I like being able to say Bloodborne is my favorite, but it might've been nice to say Sekiro instead. I'll never know.
Dead Cells: I guess I don't really consider this dropping the game due to difficulty, but since the user above mentioned it I'll say that I never had a good time in the castle once I was doing a boss cell run, and the newer biomes were real pains in the ass as well, so I just decided I'd beaten the game "on normal" or whatever and set it aside.
DOOM Eternal: I wanted to play it like 2016, it wanted me to play it like it was the only game in the world. There were other games.
XCOM 2: As a PS+ game I can always go back, but the opening game seemed so much more difficult than the first game. I was almost always one or two soldiers down per mission and just couldn't seem to get my feet under me. I stopped playing the first XCOM multiple times because I felt like I'd gotten what I wanted out of it (similar to how I'll often start games of Civilization but rarely finish them) but XCOM 2 left me feeling like an idiot.
Invisible Inc.: Same. Felt like such a dumb ass playing this game.
Outer Wilds: The final physics puzzles were just far too much for me to wrap my head around, and the angler fish far too scary for me to get over. I happily went to Youtube.
Resident Evil 2: I'm not sure this fits under the strict definition of "too hard", but I couldn't spend more than a minute with Mr. X chasing me around without feeling like I was about to have a panic attack. I knew it was coming, but man. What a bad feeling.
Celeste: I know I could've turned assists on, but it just wouldn't have felt right. I got about 3/4 of the way through the game and hit such a wall.
This War of Mine: I might've been able to get good at this, but I didn't have the patience to. I'd always get a couple of weeks in and then everything would fall apart, which I think is kind of intentional but I wasn't interested in fighting through.
The Witness: Another game that just made me feel like an absolute bozo. The girl I was dating at the time was trying to get into video games and loved puzzles (like, puzzle puzzles, not puzzle boards) but neither of us could crack this one past an hour or so in. I'm so dumb.
Hotline Miami: Those first three levels are so damn good. A real shame I'm so damn bad at this game.
