Thanks, I guess like another commenter pointed out, the game/genre is just not for me. And I feel a bit hypocritical since I do enjoy roguelikes like The Binding of Isaac, which can certainly be seen as "just" exploring, grinding, leveling up and fighting enemies. Yet for some reason in those kinds of games I get more satisfaction from progressing and the mechanics feel more enjoyable, which keeps me playing for hours on end. I'll probably give ER a try eventually. Maybe it clicks for me this time. :)

I'd say, just force yourself to beat it. This is what I did with the first Dark Souls, which got me hooked. I hated it at the start, the combat seemed clunky, and I got stuck on the first major boss for days. But the extreme adrenaline rush of beating that boss gave me the motivation to keep playing, and after many more exciting fights and encounters, I came to the realization that it was one of the best games I had ever played. But it's easy to get stuck on the first big hump, no doubt.
