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.

    As someone who just played horizon zero dawn and wound up loving it, what was your issue with Forbidden West?

    I know at the beginning of Zero Dawn I wasn’t really digging the story, and it unfortunately took a while to get better, but when it did it was really good. I was glad the mechanics were enjoyable for me or else I wouldn’t have stuck around long enough

      The issues I had with Horizon Zero Dawn continued in Forbidden West unfortunately.

      • Characters continues to stay quite dull
      • Side missions not very fun
      • Open world that’s quite empty besides some beasts here and there
      • It’s quite much: Go to A, B, C then go back to A. You’re finally at A, go to Y! Which felt quite a drag and a waste of time (for me).

      The only thing that I loved were the graphics and that was it sadly.

      I really liked Zero Dawn because it was new and the story still had to be unfolded but after that magic is gone, it’s for me – just another open-world game.
