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.
A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

This is the one for me as well. I spent hundreds of hours as a kid playing zoo tycoon and was very hyped for Planet Zoo. I still can’t quite place what makes it so unfun but it was pretty heart breaking.
Every. single. action. is. so. tedious. The second I tried to place my first path and build an enclosure, I knew I was in over my head.
I understand the finicky controls are what allow people to build incredible, elaborate structures. But I don’t want to spend 12 hours designing a crystal monkey enclosure.
