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.
Final Fantasy XVI :/ combat was fun but the RPG elements were pretty bad tbh
I’ve been a huge fan of the series for over 30 years at this point. I just wish the last twenty years were as good at the first ten.
I waited to buy every entry after FF10, and everytime (with the exception of XIV 2.0) I’ve been disappointed.
I really feel let down by XVI. None of the trailers made me excited, everytime they showed the gameplay I was betrayed, and when I played the demo I was bored.
All of the post-release feedback was so positive though, so I ended up buying it 2 weeks after it came out.
I still haven’t finished my, despite having it for almost 6 weeks. It’s just so bad. I was able to push myself through XV and I actually enjoyed the XIII trilogy, but this just feels like some Final Fantasy flavored (barely), easy to the point of inducing sleep, action game.
