I love the original Hotline Miami but I’m not a big fan of the boss fights like the ones in Neighbors (Biker) and Deadline (Van Driver). I find it kind of slows down the game and limits the strategies you can take.
Another example would be Fallout 3. I find the tutorial section in Vault 101 can feel a bit long after a fifth run but maybe that’s because I was spoiled by Fallout New Vegas’ ability to run off in your own direction immediately after leaving Doc Mitchell’s house.
After finding out that AC 3 was not the final one where I got to play as Desmond as an assassin in the future, I just gave up on the whole series. I have no interest in continuing a story that’s just gonna get milked forever. I do kinda get it though, the “assassin in historical civilization” thing could be kept fresh for way longer, but it just ruined the whole significance of the Desmond storyline.
