For some reason as soon as I get to the “end” of the game, I completely lose motivation to play. This happened with DOOM: Eternal, Sekiro, Bloodborne, Paper Mario TTYD, Cassette Beasts, Shovel Knight, Oblivion, Baldur’s Gate, God of War, Mass Effect… Pretty much every game I’ve ever played. It’s like the fun part was the journey, and I’ve seen everything the game has to offer, and I just don’t really enjoy the ending process. Feels like a formality at that point.

    Kinda. Played Breath of the Wild for hours and hours. Had a whole stack of endgame gear.

    But when it came to actually beating Ganon… I dunno. I fell off. Put the game down and didn’t return to it.

      Same, never finished BOTW. Finished a ton of shrines, explored everywhere and did all four divine beasts, then motivation completely crashed lol.

      That battle was super disappointing, so I wouldn’t feel bad about missing it.

      Relatable, although I still occasionally come back to BotW the journey was the big part. While for other games like Sekiro in which perfection makes it more thrilling, the repetition sort of makes sense.
