Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it? (lemm.ee)

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.

Horizon Zero Dawn

I thought this would be right up my alley but I really did not like the protagonist and the fighting and exploring seemed kind of boring.

The Last of Us

This game gets praised all the time but it felt too limited and 'on rails' whilst the gunplay and stealth was not for me.

You seem like a mountain dew game fuel and CoD kind of guy.
