Destiny 2.
I love the core game to bits, it has excellent character progression and customization and I could just theory craft for hours in the inventory screen. It has excellent gunplay, movement, environments, so many guns to choose from and a good story if you look for it but GOD it sucks the life out of you.
All the endgame (actually good) content is behind an arbitrary power level wall and you simply have to grind to get past it. And you really, really have to grind for it. I played it for like 40 hours in a month and that was barely enough to reach the bare minimum (there's more content behind higher power level). Sure I wasn't grinding optimally but you also shouldn't need to follow a YouTube guide and abuse multiple characters and complete every weekly challenge to reach the power cap in only 20 hours instead.
What's worse is that the power level requirement is increased every couple months, not by much but it can still be a lot to grind (exponentially longer to gain power near the max cap). What's even worse is that every year or 2 it is completely reset and everyone is starting from square one.
Again I looooove the game but it genuinely requires more work than a career just to get to the good part. It requires so much that people legitimately "no life" it, playing for like 14 hours a day.
