I find using a note taking application like obsidian or joblin or even just a notebook and when I stop a game or even just periodically write a note and summary of what I was doing and my overall head space like my current goals in the game. Keep me from having to start over. I learn to do this with DnD and it translated over to video games quite well.
This happens a lot less often to me now that steam has a note taking feature that cloud-syncs
I had no idea this feature existed.

I usually manage to push through now. It initially feels like it'll never be comfortable.... but it rarely takes more than an hour to be right back in the swing of it.
Every time I go back to Terraria...
Metro 2033 has a re-telling of the previous story plot during the loading screen. Wish more games would do that.
Cyberpunk 2077 has an audio summary of what’s going on as if it was a new cast on the radio
Goooooooooooooood Morning Night City!!!
I've learned I basically can't put a game down if I want to finish that run.
I can not play something for like a week or so tops, any longer and we rapidly approach certainty that if I do eventually go back to it, I'll have to start the story again.
I stopped playing the Witcher 3, and trying to pick it back up was very hard (I gave up)
I think Warcraft III has a very accurate percentage for me regarding this post title.
Oh man switching back from Elden Ring to prior FromSoft games was a challenge. Jumping is handled differently in DS1, DS2, and Elden Ring, for example.
You're supposed to finish them?
