I always liked this game, but I was never particularly into it. Even defeating the first final boss of a run seemed like a very difficult, big ask and so my interested dwindled.

More or less 10 years later I decided to try again on a whim, and it sunk a hook right into me so deep I've been thinking about it every day since, and I'm continuing to this day.
The massive rabbit hole that I knew existed beyond one difficult boss seemed entirely unobtainable a month ago, and now I've progressed through the whole game and its DLC, with still a ton to do and unlock. I don't even know if 100% is possible in my lifetime, but I'm sure going to work towards it.

One last thing I love about this game is that if you go through the progression from the very start like I did, you get to watch as the game and story matures along with its creators. It starts off as a satire on christianity and other abrahamic religions but develops into something more interesting; an all too real tragedy of circumstance. There are sweet moments, too, making it all the more sad.
