Thinking of most games I've played I can see myself wanting to try it out again sometime in the future. But a few I don't intend to touch ever again. Not that they were bad necessarily. Just a kind of a 'Yea, I'm done with it' feeling
For me:
Base campaign of HoMM3
- It's just too easy. HoMM3 legendary difficulty it seems is restricted to the expansions. When I first started with HoMM3 I accidentally started taking on 'Shadow of Death's levels thinking it was the first campaign (it's the final expansion's campaign). Realizing my mistake after a crazy struggle to beat the Gem and Grag Hack scenarios I abandoned Shadow of Death and started with the base game's campaign. Only after Shadow of Death it was way too easy and it felt like a slog completing the levels. Still I'm glad I got through it, but I'm definitely not going to play it again.
Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale
- Perhaps if they were shorter. I feel exhausted just thinking of those two playthroughs :P Planescape weirdly, not so much. I could totally play that again some day.
Stalker Clear Sky
- Actually scratch that. I'm not glad that I finished it. The re-used locations of the first game that make up most of the game and the lengthy call-of-duty-esque bit towards the end did a good job of annoying me. The faction wars were cool, but not enough to redeem the game.
