I'm bVork. I talk about video games a lot. I also occasionally talk about social issues, but not often. He/Him.
Final Fantasy XIII has this exact problem. It spends hours telling players about the paradigm mechanics but the player's engagement amounts to "do the thing the game says to do." Then the player meets Barthandelus and needs to demonstrate full mastery of all the systems to win that boss battle.

Shmup (most puzzle games are shmups, unless they are versus, in which case they are beat em up) and racing, respectively.

(Deleted a similar reaction before getting the point)

There's a Munro's Books founded by Alice and her first husband that had to grapple with the scandal, and its statement navigates that well:

It's hysterical that the photo in the article of a domesticated male fox also includes an anime pillow of Holo from Spice & Wolf.

Doom. All four episodes on Ultra-Violence. Definitely wouldn't be getting many secrets but I'm sure I could do it. I'd have to make a few safety saves though, especially one before the E4M6 Cyberdemon.

I actually played through it entirely with a controller! Might be the only game where I actually used the DS4's touchpad (mapped that to mouse movement and the two sides of the pad to left and right click).
