I had that experience recently with retro computer RPGs. I was fretting over how some of those games were pretty cryptic to complete and I hate playing with a guide. Then I realised back then, we never really expected to complete them anyways, you just played and saw if you could find something new.

Reviewers expected you'd be playing Ultima 4 (or whatever) for years. So I realised I was quite literally "doing it wrong" :)

It's an eye-opener when it happens. OH I'm supposed to be SAVOURING this experience!

I had a similar experience with Fire Emblem. Those games became a lot more fun for me when I stopped worrying about playing "optimally."
