Exactly! I left two achievements in Prey because while I loved it, a fourth playthrough was too much - years later I still remember the map intimately
But then there's games like saints row 4...I loved it, it was just pure fun. I was having such a great power fantasy I even got all the collectables. I tried to keep going, but I ended up just mindlessly jumping around until I faced reality
Or for a more recent example, satisfactory. It was great fun - I restarted just before the endgame to extend the experience. Then I did everything... There was so much more map left and I could've built so much more if I just had a reason. They get a partial pass because it's still in development and mods could give me a second, longer, playthrough but I wanted to enjoy the updates before I burned up all my desire to play
Give me some stat scaled enemies, maybe a bit more basic progression, and a flimsy reason so I can have my fill of the gam
Pretty funny you bring up Satisfactory...I JUST put that game down after making a gigantic factory. I just couldn't bring myself to build the last two I needed for the final milestone and decided I'd start with a new game once it was finished. I hate burning myself out on a game and resenting it.
...and Prey might actually be the next single player game I play. I have two friends hounding me to give it a spin and now you're singing its praises. I guess I have to now lol
