Perhaps I'm using "ragequit" a little broadly.

Sometimes I really enjoy a puzzle. I managed to solve the majority of the witness without help, but then looked online for some context clues that opened a whole extra stage of puzzles that I found enjoyable. I also loved opus magnum and it's visual puzzles.

On the other hand, Baba is you, and exapunks broke my brain. I tried so hard to try and understand both of them, I skipped levels and came back to the ones I struggled on, but I just had to admit: I'm too stupid sometimes. So I had to stop, and I've never been back to them.

More of a dumbquit than a ragequit. But I'm still angry at myself today for not being smart enough for those games!
