How do you approach coming back to a game you never beat after a long time?

Yep. Give it to me where I left off. I'll figure things out, but I'm not restarting the game.
Did this with xenoblade chronicles X, played for like 40-50 hours in like a week, then got a break for a few months and then went back into it. Like mentioned earlier in the thread it kinda comes back even though it were a bit overwhelming at first, that said that game did point you towards where you were going very easily so it might be harder in other rpgs.

I'll restart if it's been more than a couple months or so, unless there's no story.
I kind of feel like if the game's worth returning to, it's worth restarting to fully appreciate the story & sense of progression. If I'm dreading the thought of restarting it then I probably didn't like it enough in the first place

Depends on after how long for me.
I put Bloodborne into hold in December and I've just got back yesterday. So far I've been doing fine, as I've just beaten 3 bosses since. I did read the wiki for a little insight on where I am right now, but that about it.
In another case where I left agame for more than a year, I usually start over or just forget about it. The fact that I've left the game for that long means I don't really care about the game.

Depends on the game.
Dropped SMT4 due to a particular moment in the Neutral route
and picked it up three months later and finished it off from where I was. Didn't want to repeat 40 hours, and the game didn't feel strange at all even after coming back.
Whereas I've started Planescape Torment about five times over at this point, because I want to get the full experience and I'm always uncomfortable with leaving that game for a long period of time.

aka having to do 10 hours of worthless side quests
