how do you deal with an AG you don’t quite like?..
do you oblige yourself to finish it or do you just simply jump to another?
Watch the rest of the game on youtube skipping as much as i can. last time i did this was Deponia 2. man, that was painful… 
I either abuse a walkthrough to see the ending if I’m interested or put it aside thinking I’ll get back to it to never remember it again.
Kind of a mix of what others have said. Sometimes I feel obliged to finish it (and be a little more liberal with a walkthrough); sometimes I just never go back.
Once upon a time I opted to take a walkthrough and plough the thing through, now days I most of the time just stop playing unless the plot for an example is something I really want to see solved.
Depends on how much I dislike the AG, how far I am from the end, and how intriguing the story is (even if the gameplay is hell).
If I really dislike it, and have no interest in seeing the story come to a conclusion, I’ll just abandon the game and never get back to it.
If I’m getting close to the end, though, I’ll opt to walkthrough-bulldoze through to the end.
And if the game is bad with horrible gameplay, but the story is intriguing, then I’ll probably walkthrough-bulldoze my way through to the end as well.

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
When i was more younger and Devs were more talented , i used to push even crappy games till end to enjoy some great sections
Now average quality of games and much less time and more variety in all genres i tend to avoid

me too Smulan.. i 2nd that, i left out its 2nd half, got bored and forgotten about.. tho to say the truth it had lots of potential but sticking to the old MM legacy was too boring in 2017, might have been and a genuine gem if it was released back then, yeah, i know thats what they have been trying to achieve but didn’t work all the way for me

You mean uninstall them immediately?I can’t never do that,keep them as long as possible,
through out the long years keep them in an archive drive, at first on hold later in an older games file and give them chance if i ever get the right mood and decide to waste my time again someday.

sorry man, i added to the post my explanation right after you quoted my 1st part of it.
I tend to just stop playing. There are so many entertainment options bombarding us these days that there is not that much time to waste on things you don’t enjoy.

You might like it if you kept playing tho? Maybe you were wrong? 
I have tried several times to get interested in Riven. I printed out 5 pages of a walkthrough to get me started - thinking that if I got a little immersed in the game that I would like it; as so many people rave about it. but, sadly, it always bored me. I guess I don’t like the solitary feeling and no inventory or figuring out things to give to people or how to help characters. I might try it again in a few years, but, I sure hated it when I played it and so gave up on it. So, I guess I give up on games if I don’t like them - but, I always think I will try them again as maybe as I get older and wiser that I might like them in the future?
Life is too short to keep playing games you just don’t like. I always give a game a break and try to see the good things about but don’t feel at all bad about abandoning it if I just can’t stand it any longer.
I like to complete the games I play, and I tend not to install a new one until I’ve finished the one I’m playing. I’m sure I don’t play as many games per year as other gamers, but I like to take my time and see all a game has to offer.
