That was Alan Wake 2 for me, except they innovated one step further. I had to reinstall it on my NVME drive because my SATA SSD apparently wasn’t fast enough.
That’s excessive that it requires an NVMe drive to work at all. It’s a tech that’s really only about a decade old and plenty of people keep dinosaurs much older than a decade running and even game on them. Heck my SATA SSD which predates NVME is still my primary game storage device and it shows no signs of failing anytime soon. Fun fact, my Z97 motherboard was one of the first on the market to include NVME m.2 slots but did not support booting to PCIe slots, so neither those newfangled PCIe SSDs nor newfangled NVME drives could be booted, but it did have NVME support enabled as a later BIOS update!
On the other hand, I suppose we are approaching Windows 10 EOL in less than 2 years, and Windows 11 technically does not support CPU generations old enough to not include NVME support so that does make it a safer bet, but still not a great thing to require
