I mostly gave up on video games after Pong. I guess I have played a
couple of the kind where you have to figure out puzzles, like Myst.
And if Mahjong is considered a video game I play that and pinochle
sometimes.

I'm not that great at hand-eye coordination which leads to frustration
starting as far back as Centipede. I have an old XBox and enjoyed some
of the titles. I forget which version but I gave GTA to a friend's kid
because I couldn't figure out how it worked. I sure the 12 year old
aced it. I gave up on Assassin's Creed when I got tired of the endless
running over roofs to get back to where you were after you respawned.
My kids played Assassin's Creed a few years back. And that's all I ever
saw of it. Running on top of roofs. I didn't watch long because it got
monotonous.
I think that's the one that had some decent music though — or maybe that
Skyrim (which I always pronounced "skerim" — even when I found out how
it was supposed to be pronounced). My kids played that one a lot also.

There is admittedly a lot of running on roofs in Assassin's Creed games,
but you mostly do it to stay away from the enemies that might spot you on
the ground and cause a fight. Additionally, getting to the highest point
allows you to survey an area and determine where the most important items
are. It's a fantastic series.
Not my kind of thing, but I know it was (or is?) popular.
