All those Telltale episodic games, like The wolf among us and The Walking Dead. It's so boring and slow that it makes me both extremely mad and uncomfortable.

Kingdom Hearts: I played the first for some time and watched some videos of the series, but I don't get the appeal. The character design is strange, the story does not hit me on an emotional level and the Disney characters... Just no.

Final Fantasy: Played 7 and X and just like Kingdom Hearts, it just did not hit me on any level. It is strange, because I love JRPGs like the Legend of Heroes series.
I'm with you on FF. I played VII, because at that point in time, especially where I'm from (small, inconsequential country with a low population and before the internet hit it big, we were always months behind on trends), you just played any title presented to you by others with a PS.
My siblings and I mostly played the demos that came with free PC magazines as we couldn't afford much else lol.
All of that rambling to say: Even then, when I didn't have much else, it bored me to tears. It was so wordy, but without the type of substance I enjoy, the battles were tedious (though I enjoy other types of turnbased combat - like xcom), the style was cute, but I did not enjoy the mishmash of characters (similar feelings on Kingdom Hearts which you also mentioned), it didn't feel irreverent, it felt inconsistent to me.
I can completely understand why others might enjoy it though. I tried playing other FF titles, because the games are quite different to each other, but unfortunately couldn't get into them. But hey ho, everything can't be for everyone.
Skyrim. I can't quite place it but there's something about it that hits the uncanny valley for me and I can't get immersed. I've tried to get into the game three times and it just never grabs me.
I hate the Persona franchise. I don't like the playstyle at all. It felt very uncomfortable to me.
Witcher 3. I tried to get into the game multiple times, and I have the complete edition on PC. I don't know why exactly it isn't clicking for me, but I just can't vibe with it.
I got sick of Hades. Everything that happened in the house before and after runs was great, it was just I shame I had to repeatedly slog through a run for half an hour to get new conversations. I came to the conclusion that roguelikes probably aren't for me.
The latest PlayStation games like The Last of US and God of War. Story is fine, graphics are nice but damn is the gameplay loop boring and easy. I don't care for 'press forward for story into arena fight and back again to press forward for story.
They are great casual games, almost visual novel like, but they don't really offer anything in challenges or deep mechanics.
Noita, so confusing and not really very much fun IMO.
I think it's fun to watch good players, but it's so freaking slow to start. You get a run off the ground and then you get Noita'd and have to start back from square one.
