I think for me it has to be games that have a well thought out beginning like Sable or Children of the Light but just dont have an ending.

"Your princess is in another castle" trope. It works for Mario I guess but with other games it just feels frustrating because you're supposed to actually have some kind of attachment to this character or thing to want to go through all this effort to rescue them but they're just out of reach the whole time. Honestly it's just difficult to be motivated to find a character your hardly knew in the first place.
