Either it didn’t teach you anything at all, or it taught you the most irrelevant parts of the game.

Fallout 2. That Game has the Opposite of a Tutorial. It does Not explain anything and throws you immediately into a Dungeon where you are supposed to solve it with specific skills. Can be really annoying If you have the wrong skills. It was literally tacked onto the Game because the Publisher demanded it. Love the Game, but the Temple of Trials ist one of the worst Things in the entire Series.

That aspect of the game actually ended multiple playthroughs for me where I just could not stomach it. I rolled the character, I got set up to play, I got halfway through the Temple of Trials, and I said no actually I want to do something else. 👎

Can’t believe it’s not in here yet, but Monster Hunter. I find the eventual understanding of the gameplay loop to not actually be as complex as I thought it’d be, but getting a good overview of all what you want to do and use isn’t really possible even in the latest entries, just specific information about specific mechanics.

I couldn’t get into MHW at all, and I lay the blame on the awful tutorial, which is less a tutorial and more interrupting you as you try to get to grips with the controls, with dozens of full screen pages of text.

Oh yes, legendarily awful. And again, I don’t find it that impenetrable in the end, the delivery of the info is just so bad. If anybody wants to get into MH I’d love to help because I absolutely love the series now, but it took concentrated effort to teach myself without anyone to guide me.

Dwarf Fortress, for me. Even the graphical one on Steam, I needed to watch YouTube videos to really start digging in to it.

It’s awful because it’s non-existent.

The worst one I can remember is Final Fantasy 8.

But also the UI was so complicated and bad that it made me hate the game.
