10 Great Video Games Everybody Just Stopped Playing

10. Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 is an utterly mesmerising achievement from Rockstar - an intoxicatingly rich Western masterpiece which basically dares players not to pour hundreds of hours into its mind-bogglingly immersive open world.

And yet, PlayStation trophy data indicates that there came a point where players en masse just fell off the game and never got around to finishing it.

Only 29.8% of players have popped the trophy for finishing the Arthur-starring main portion of the game, while the John Marston-centric epilogue mustered just 26.4%.

Even accepting that Red Dead Redemption 2's campaign can easily take 50+ hours to beat and much longer given the many optional distractions on offer, it's shocking that barely one-quarter of those who bought the game stuck with it long enough to see the end.

Even though the cinematically-driven campaign isn't particularly difficult, it was likely a matter of fatigue which prevented so many from reaching the end, with many having their fill of Rockstar's sprawling open world before they could bring the story to a close.
