I was really enjoying this game until it introduces the “keep this thing dry” mechanic and then instantly lost interest.

Once you are around 10 or 15 missions into the game they introduce a mechanic where the alarms are water sensitive and you have to try and build things around the alarms using planks etc to try and stop them from getting wet. Getting them wet causes the alarm to go off.
Up until that point I was really enjoying figuring out a route, preparing and trying to pull off the goals within the time before the police show up etc. After the first “dont let this thing get wet mission” I stopped playing and never picked it up again as I hated the idea. It was a shame.

Yep. That mechanic killed the game for me too. I’ve tried twice more to play from the start. Its fun every time right up until that point then abandon the game again.

Not just me then, I have considered going back and trying again as I really did enjoy it a lot up until that point but I dont think it is worth my time thinking about what is to come.
Damn shame!

This is why I shamelessly cheat in single player games. Most of the time I’m just trying to make the game more fun for myself, and one of those ways is to skip past the parts I don’t enjoy.
This definitely backfires sometimes, but if I can squeeze more enjoyment out of it before I put it down (almost certainly forever), I will.

I don’t cheat as for me that takes away all the satisfaction I get from seeing a game through from beginning to end however as I have gotten older I no longer try and force myself to continue playing games that I am not enjoying. I have enjoyed gaming on the whole a lot more since I started doing this. Sometimes I’ll go back if it is something I really want to like and sometimes that works but I no longer get hung up on quitting a game if it is doing nothing for me.

My graveyard of abandoned games grows almost as quickly as my library.
I recognize this as novelty-seeking behavior, but I think I’m discerning enough now that I get my money’s worth, generally speaking.
