Bendy and the Ink Machine

A horror game based on 1920s cartoons sounds great, but the gameplay is just fetch quest after fetch quest and it isn't that scary. It also does that irritating as shit indie game thing where they make the story ambiguous for no good reason.

maybe Death Stranding.

the gameplay has no connection to the story, and the forced combat, BT stuff, detracts from the experience, IMO.

Horizon Zero Dawn. It's still a good game, but a few design decisions really weakened the experience for me.

Dragon's Dogma

Dragons Dogma is amazing wtf.

Personally Ill say Watch Dogs. I was hyped for that game and it was just boring. Days Gone too but thats just my opinion.

Mars: War Logs

If the gameplay was just a little more interesting, I'd love the shit out of that franchise and would hope they'd make more of it.

Quite a few racing games that just have bad handling when you're driving. Takes all the fun out of the experience.

Kind of agree with that. Like the fact that most of the "crafting" materials don't have a use or that completing collections just gives you a box full of random shit.

It's one reason I'm excited for the sequel.

Gladius has a fantastic concept: you run a gladiator school that travels around competing in local competitions throughout not-Rome, not-Germania, not-Steppe, and not-Egypt in a low fantasy sort of setting.

But they shoehorned in a really vanilla Chosen One plot, cut a ton of classes, most of the fights are really samey, the class balance is terrible, and super obvious they ran out of steam and/or time after not-Rome and not-Classical Germany. I would love to see a version that got to spend enough time in the oven.

Scribblenauts. Really cool concept but you could brute force every puzzle by just cramming the area with creations until you achieved your goal.

It's incredible for like an hour. Then when you actually start playing the game, you find out you literally only need to create the same three things.

Ah yes no substance like it's 70 side stories that give life to the world and people around it. The countless minigames and restaurants that make the world feel alive. An actual compelling story and real gameplay!!
