Escape from Tarkov

Maybe I just didn't spend enough time researching how to actually play the game but it didn't live up to the hype.

Honorable mentions: Squad and The Division 2

Forza Motorsport. Years and years of development for a bug ridden mess that’s shockingly light on content.

Between this and Starfall my expectations for anything coming from Microsoft game studios has plummeted.

Faefarm. Not that it is a terrible game, it just wasn't worth paying full price for. I was in a bad spot and needed a cozy comfort game, and it was great for that. But there just wasn't enough there for me to justify the 60$ price tag. Wish I had just waited for a sale.

I know this isnt what you asked, but the last seven or so games that I have purchased have been EXCELLENT and that is super rare for me! Elden ring (on release, I dont buy a lot of games), Armored Core 6, Nioh 1, Nioh 2, Baldurs Gate 3, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Dead Space Remake.

I want my money back for battlebit remastered. It took about six hours to realize "wait, this game is half baked" last summer. Steam did not accept my refund request just one hour outside of their standard trial window (which they've always been extremely cool about before), i'm guessing because a bunch of people didn't like it all at once. I tried it again just a month or so ago, a bunch of stuff is still wonky, and the logarithmic decrease in players (even after a spike from winter sale) since its peak last june reflects this. Seems to me they put all their effort into skin and map "content" than actually fixing bugs or improving systems and mechanics.

AC Valhalla.

I played though all the other ones but that one felt so soulless and bland. I expected it to not be great but nothing this bad.

Then again I finally realized recently that I don't actually enjoy open world games (with some exceptions).

The settlers 2 history edition after I discovered that there is also an community remake (Settlers 2 RTTR) which is just overall better and actually fixed some decades old bugs, which the official re-release apprently didn't bother with. But that's Ubisoft for you.
