I'm embarrassed by the number of award-winning games I have unfinished on my hard drive, but every time I fire them up I think "i'm not enjoying this".

Am I doing it wrong? Should I be mainlining my ADHD meds before trying to play?

    There is nothing to be embarrassed about. When you stop enjoying, you stop playing. I'm having a lot more fun doing that. Many universally loved games, I will ditch in 10 hours or so just because I find them painfully boring (Super Mario Odyssey, Metroid Prime). Others I'll enjoy for a while and might give up when they're 80% complete (Spider-Man Remastered). I have left one game right at the last boss fight because I had had enough (Guacamelee 2, loved that game, gave it up at 95%), and I loved the experience and I've never gone back. Just play as much as you enjoy.
