What's a video game you were bummed about finishing, wishing the experience lasted longer? (lemmy.zip)

I just finished my second playthrough of Dead Island 2, and for some reason this game really resonated with me the way few other games ever have, and just like with the first playthrough, I'm kind of bummed that there's nothing left for me to do in the game.

The story was the weakest part, but the gameplay, music, sound production, voice acting, "set design," -- everything-- was absolutely incredible, imo. Attention to detail is huge for me, and when I can read what it says on a tiny box of pills--that says passionate devs and quality publisher to me. I also LOVE how the zombie damage is depicted, with different weapons causing different wound shapes, and the guts jiggle independently of the body. Most satisfying zombie killing ever.

So what games did you yearn for more of when you finished it?

Mirror's Edge. The ending scene in the game with the helicopter, I thought I was only halfway through, until I saw the credits roll in. I was like "WTF? THAT'S IT? THAT'S HOW IT ENDS??"

Then I played Mirror's Edge Catalyst, which I think perfectly carries on from that horribly fumbled ending, but the gameplay just feels too overengineered to be enjoyable, they ruined the fighting mechanics, and the part that hurts me the most is that a majority of the original art direction was lost, it just feels like it was trying to blend in with all the Cyberpunk 2077 clones.

In both cases I'm sure it's because of EA
