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.

Outer Wilds. I just don't understand why everyone loves it so much. I thought it was boring.

How far did you get?

I played a few hours. I thought the idea and the art design was cool. It just didn't wow me. I do plan on giving it another try though.

Yeah the beginning can be slow and a bit directionless, but it's definitely worth sticking with it imo.

I'll give it another try. It took 2 tries for me to like Death Stranding and I ended up loving it. So sometimes it just takes multiple times.
