Magatsu-Inaba – Persona 4

As the final dungeon of the game, Magatsu-Inaba consists of three floors (not including the loop of Magatsu Mandala). Finally reaching Adachi results in a boss fight, one in which he can summon an alternate version of Izanagi as his Persona. Once you’re done with that, there’s lots of exposition leading to the reveal of Ameno-sagiri, the Shadow that’s been manipulating Adachi all this time. Cue more exposition. You’re probably wondering when you get a chance to save. But never mind that – it’s a battle against Ameno-sagiri, and then the ending (not including the True Ending Arc that comes up). So all of that, all of those cutscenes and battles, and if you lose near the end, it all must be suffered through again.
