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.
Yeah, I just played through outer wilds and I completely disagree. I thought each planet was pretty wonder-inducing. The story is pretty standard, I think, but the way it’s presented, non-linearly and requiring some degree of actually putting the pieces together, and the way the story serves new exploration hints to you at the same time it’s giving you clues about the history is pretty masterfully done, o think. And I DON’T usually like exploration games, I thought outer wilds would be a mid experience overall for me. But there’s no such thing as perfect, so I get it.
