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 didnā€™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.

Wasteland 2 i thought iā€™m getting a Fallout 2 but better, but instead it didnā€™t grab my attention at all, have to quit early in the game but still passed the refund period. I tried to get into it again and again but still doesnā€™t work.

Grim Dawn This one being called a ā€œbetter Diabloā€ and i was expecting something that will grab my attention, but really itā€™s kinda boring and uninspiring. I think itā€™s much more similar to Torchlight than Diablo, which i also couldnā€™t get into.

Space Pirate and Zombie 2 itā€™s very different than SPAZ1 and i donā€™t quite like the transition, couldnā€™t get into it.

Dont Starve iā€™m not sure why i couldnā€™t get into this one, i like survival crafting stuff but my soul is rejecting this one.

Spec Ops: The Line Everyone want you to play this one for the story, but dang the whole game is just so boring. I have to force myself to finish it, story is okay i guess.

Oh man I thought I was alone with Grim Dawn! It was pretty boring.

I didnā€™t understand Donā€™t Starve for years. Its constantly rated high for a great co-op experience, so I forced myself to understand it. A few hours in, I get the appeal of why some like it.

As a crafting survival thoughā€¦ It doesnā€™t feel like youā€™re building anything of real value, and so youā€™re clearly crafting things in a particular linear order to solve the next puzzle.

I think i might try it some other time, i bought it just after i finished subnautica so my expectation just isnā€™t in the right place.

I havenā€™t played Wasteland 2, but I quite enjoyed Wasteland 3. Iā€™ve played it through a couple of times. Might be worth giving it a go?

I really liked Spec ops the lineā€™s story, but it doesnā€™t hook you I can see it being boring.
