Personally there are a few games which left me very dissappointed, after hyping myself up for years in certain cases.
Divinity Original Sin: turns out I prefer more streamlined, less packed games (love Pillars of Eternity) and that coop play in a CRPG stresses me out.
Wasteland 2: I actually managed to finish this one but secretly I admit I was hoping for a better Fallout which I didn’t really get. New Vegas did the cowboy theme much better.
INSIDE: while the design was cool, it was just a ton of boring, easy puzzles in comparison to LIMBO, its predecessor.
Probably Beam.NG drive for me. Highly rated driving/racing game on Steam, and I thought I’d like it because it’s like Forza Horizon 4 or 5 but more realistic. Unfortunately, maybe I’m used to Forza but the controls are janky and the UI is clunky. The mods I’ve tried are fun for a few minutes but gimmicky.
Whenever I get the itch to drive a virtual car with my controller, I just fire up Forza Horizon 5.
Perhaps the game will come around to me down the line if I want more pure simulation or more fun with mods.
Wait, I forgot an entire genre of games: FPS games. The fast paced spinning of your field of view literally makes me nauseous. Even Minecraft has that effect on me sometimes.
Its an OK racing game but mostly it’s a great crashing sim.
