    Perfection is a fantasy, something not really attainable by anything, no matter what perspective you give it. However, certain video games can come so close to that in our minds, that if it wasn’t for one little detail, they would be that fabled 10/10. If you can’t look past it, though, it isn’t a small detail.

    This is what Reddit users decided to discuss on a popular thread. Some complaints are about frustrating gameplay, while others stem from emotional moments that are simply too difficult to revisit. These are the games players love almost unconditionally, except for that one unforgettable section they wish they could skip forever.

    Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune

    The original Uncharted remains a fun adventure, but many players dread the lengthy jet ski sequences. Awkward controls, constant enemy fire, and explosive barrels make this section one of the series’ least beloved moments.

    IMDb

    Fallout 4: Far Harbor

    Far Harbor is widely praised as Fallout 4’s best expansion, yet DiMA’s memory puzzles divide players to this day. The abstract block-building gameplay interrupts the DLC’s otherwise excellent pacing and atmosphere.

    IMDb

    Dragon Age: Origins

    Few RPGs are as beloved as Dragon Age: Origins, but the Fade sequence remains infamous. Its maze-like structure and repeated shapeshifting puzzles often turn replays into a chore despite the game’s outstanding storytelling.

    IMDb

    Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

    The hospital prologue delivers an unforgettable first impression, but its lengthy scripted nature makes repeat playthroughs less appealing. Many fans wish they could jump straight into the game’s open-world stealth sandbox.

    IMDb

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Rockstar’s western masterpiece earns widespread praise, yet its extended snowbound opening divides players. While essential for establishing the story, the slow-paced tutorial makes some fans hesitate before starting another playthrough.

    IMDb

    NieR: Automata

    For many players, the game’s biggest obstacle isn’t gameplay at all. After reaching Ending E, the emotional conclusion feels so perfect that replaying the story risks diminishing one of gaming’s most memorable finales.

    The Last of Us Part II

    Its gameplay, visuals, and performances receive widespread acclaim, but the relentless emotional weight can be exhausting. Even fans who consider it a masterpiece often admit it’s difficult to revisit such an emotionally draining experience.

    IMDb

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Night City’s quests and combat shine, but the Braindance investigation sequences frequently interrupt the pacing. While they serve an important narrative purpose, many players find repeat viewings slow compared to the rest of the game.

    Outer Wilds

    Outer Wilds is celebrated for its remarkable sense of discovery, yet that brilliance creates its only real flaw. Once you know the solutions to its mysteries, the experience can never truly be replicated.

    Hazelight’s cooperative adventure is filled with inventive mechanics, but one infamous scene involving Cutie the elephant shocked many players. Its unexpectedly dark tone remains the game’s most controversial and emotionally uncomfortable moment.

    Spiritfarer

    Spiritfarer blends cozy gameplay with heartfelt storytelling, but its emotional impact can be overwhelming. Players often form deep attachments to the spirits they help, making farewells surprisingly difficult to experience more than once.

    Sucker Punch’s samurai epic delivers one heartbreaking turning point that many players never forget. The loss of Jin Sakai’s loyal horse is emotionally devastating enough that some fans dread replaying the story.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

    Skellige’s enormous collection of map question marks has become legendary among completionists. Clearing every smugglers’ cache across the islands is so repetitive that many players simply ignore them on future playthroughs.

    The journey itself remains one of the RPG genre’s finest, but earning every Celestial Weapon can be maddening. Lightning dodging, Chocobo racing, and Blitzball requirements test patience as much as player skill.

    Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

    The underwater escort section near the end of Metal Gear Solid 2 stands out for the wrong reasons. Slow movement and protecting Emma Emmerich combine two mechanics that many players consider among gaming’s least enjoyable.

    Spiritfarer blends cozy gameplay with heartfelt storytelling, but its emotional impact can be overwhelming. Players often form deep attachments to the spirits they help, making farewells surprisingly difficult to experience more than once.

    IMDb

    Ghost of Tsushima

    Sucker Punch’s samurai epic delivers one heartbreaking turning point that many players never forget. The loss of Jin Sakai’s loyal horse is emotionally devastating enough that some fans dread replaying the story.

    IMDb

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

    Skellige’s enormous collection of map question marks has become legendary among completionists. Clearing every smugglers’ cache across the islands is so repetitive that many players simply ignore them on future playthroughs.

    IMDb

    Final Fantasy X

    The journey itself remains one of the RPG genre’s finest, but earning every Celestial Weapon can be maddening. Lightning dodging, Chocobo racing, and Blitzball requirements test patience as much as player skill.

    IMDb

    Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

    The underwater escort section near the end of Metal Gear Solid 2 stands out for the wrong reasons. Slow movement and protecting Emma Emmerich combine two mechanics that many players consider among gaming’s least enjoyable.

    12 Photos That Might Seem Normal But Then Your Brain Catches Up

    Some photos make perfect sense the moment you see them. Others leave your brain working overtime as you try to figure out what is actually happening. A strange angle, flawless timing, or an unlikely coincidence can transform an ordinary snapshot into something that looks completely impossible. The best part is that these images are not edited at all. They simply capture reality from the perfect perspective, forcing your eyes to tell a story that is not really there. Inspired by the endlessly entertaining posts on r/confusingperspective, these are twelve photos that only get weirder the longer you look at them.

    The post 12 Photos That Might Seem Normal But Then Your Brain Catches Up appeared first on Den of Geek.

    Perfection is a fantasy, something not really attainable by anything, no matter what perspective you give it. However, certain video games can come so close to that in our minds, that if it wasn’t for one little detail, they would be that fabled 10/10. If you can’t look past it, though, it isn’t a small detail.

    This is what Reddit users decided to discuss on a popular thread. Some complaints are about frustrating gameplay, while others stem from emotional moments that are simply too difficult to revisit. These are the games players love almost unconditionally, except for that one unforgettable section they wish they could skip forever.

    IMDb

    Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune

    The original Uncharted remains a fun adventure, but many players dread the lengthy jet ski sequences. Awkward controls, constant enemy fire, and explosive barrels make this section one of the series’ least beloved moments.

    IMDb

    Fallout 4: Far Harbor

    Far Harbor is widely praised as Fallout 4’s best expansion, yet DiMA’s memory puzzles divide players to this day. The abstract block-building gameplay interrupts the DLC’s otherwise excellent pacing and atmosphere.

    IMDb

    Dragon Age: Origins

    Few RPGs are as beloved as Dragon Age: Origins, but the Fade sequence remains infamous. Its maze-like structure and repeated shapeshifting puzzles often turn replays into a chore despite the game’s outstanding storytelling.

    IMDb

    Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

    The hospital prologue delivers an unforgettable first impression, but its lengthy scripted nature makes repeat playthroughs less appealing. Many fans wish they could jump straight into the game’s open-world stealth sandbox.

    IMDb

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Rockstar’s western masterpiece earns widespread praise, yet its extended snowbound opening divides players. While essential for establishing the story, the slow-paced tutorial makes some fans hesitate before starting another playthrough.

    IMDb

    NieR: Automata

    For many players, the game’s biggest obstacle isn’t gameplay at all. After reaching Ending E, the emotional conclusion feels so perfect that replaying the story risks diminishing one of gaming’s most memorable finales.

    The Last of Us Part II

    Its gameplay, visuals, and performances receive widespread acclaim, but the relentless emotional weight can be exhausting. Even fans who consider it a masterpiece often admit it’s difficult to revisit such an emotionally draining experience.

    IMDb

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Night City’s quests and combat shine, but the Braindance investigation sequences frequently interrupt the pacing. While they serve an important narrative purpose, many players find repeat viewings slow compared to the rest of the game.

    IMDb

    Outer Wilds

    Outer Wilds is celebrated for its remarkable sense of discovery, yet that brilliance creates its only real flaw. Once you know the solutions to its mysteries, the experience can never truly be replicated.

    Steam

    It Takes Two

    Hazelight’s cooperative adventure is filled with inventive mechanics, but one infamous scene involving Cutie the elephant shocked many players. Its unexpectedly dark tone remains the game’s most controversial and emotionally uncomfortable moment.
