ah yess the old overwhelmingly positive open world survival games that you only play with friends for the first 5 hours and never again
On the flipside I have bought games with mixed reviews ( ex. Dragons Dogma 2)
That I’ve enjoyed very much. Just because they majority dislike something doesn’t necessarily mean i will.
Me with teardown when I realised it was a weird speed run heist game
And then you refund it thanks to steam’s 2hr gameplay limit policy (no questions asked if you have played less than 2hrs).
Bought the Hitman Bundle. Turns out, I just like watching the clips online
Noita for me
That’s why I love steam. Switched from PlayStation to steam because after downloading a game on PlayStation you can’t refund it. Greedy Sony
Anything with ‘overwhelmingly positive’ is likely a niche game that executes on its vision head and shoulders above any other in its niche, but if you don’t like that niche in the first place, you won’t like it at all.
basically any survival-craft game
Satisfactory. I’d usually love this sort of game, but this one I just can’t get into at all.
I’m sorry guys, I tried but I don’t like Terraria
Pizza tower. Couldn’t ever tell what was going on.
thats palworld or Hoi4 for me, pal world was just rust but with pokemon like creatures, Hoi4 was just way to complicated for my dumbass
90% of all the popular multiplayer games
The outer wilds
Lethal company for me, had no friends to play with so refund
This is Balatro for me. After rave reviews from my brothers, I just can’t find entertainment from the game.
I hate the fact that I didn’t like Baldurs Gate 3. The combat just wasn’t for me at all. Feels like i have garbage taste at times since everyone loves it.
I couldn’t get into Control when it first came out. Then I got a Steam Deck and thought it would be a good time to try the game again, only to find out that gyro aim doesn’t work unless you have it on permanently (you can’t have it activate on trigger). I was disappointed a second time.
The game looks so cool, and a third person metroidvania style game seems right up my alley.
**Far Cry 6**, sitting at 70% mostly positive? Really? How… I guess I will never understand why.
I don’t care how good Witcher 3’s story is. The movement and combat are way, way too clunky for me to enjoy it.
Vampire survivors.
When you find out that not everyone likes the same things
Souls games in nutshell.I just don’t see it.Frustrating and run like shit.
Me and my friends bought and played liar’s bar. It looked hilarious on clips. We played a few matches and it was pretty fun. At the end of the day we all submitted a refund request tho. We knew we wouldn’t come back to it ever again.
i have this with stardew valley
Witcher 3. Purchased it twice (Xbox and PC) just can’t get into it.
This was Elden Ring for me. I’m sort of at a point where if I have to spend multiple hours practicing at a game before I can do, well, anything… it just isn’t fun for me. Proving I’m an elite powergamer is not something I care about at all.
It reminds me of mythic raiding in WoW, except without the social and teamwork aspects… just the repetitive dying part.
terraria but its propably because im too dumb to play it
I bought RE4, tried it, absolutely hated the way it played. Everyone loves it but I felt like I was sitting in a vat of molasses, everything was so janky and sluggish.
Rain World. I’m sure there’s a great game there, but even after the fourth or fifth region, I still hated it.
I bought the BioShock bundle years ago with all of them. I just don’t enjoy any of them. I tried all four and put hours into them but it all just falls flat to me. I don’t get it.
you must be talking about every “souls like” game I have bought?
Valheim, unfortch
Me with marvel rivals.
I just don’t care for it
Tried Disco Elysium 3 times but something feels off about it
Meanwhile writing and music are great, setting and skills/monologues you have are not for me
Red Dead Redemption 2. I stuck it out for the story but I thought it was one of the most dull games ever.
Edit: There’s dozens of us! Dozens!!
Balatro for me. Just didn’t scratch my roguelike deckbuilder itch the way Slay the Spire and others managed to, sadly.
Hades 😞
Pillars of eternity, kingdom come deliverance and outer wilds.
I know it may be controversial, but… The Witcher 3, bought it on a sale under the tons of praise and reviews it have but it wasn’t the game for me.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1. I tried to play it like 4 times.
Me with Kingdom Come Deliverence
*Sad BG3 noises.*
dead island 2, tho I also bought it super cheap on a 3rd party site
Plenty of games i’ve tried and didn’t like it but not enough to rate negative.
Me with Darkwood. I don’t understand the love for it
Spider man games are cool and good looking but god damn the humour in this game is like a brainrot.
Slay the princess – very cool visuals and lovely story about love and acceptance BUT highly overrated when it comes to choice.
Stray – yes, i love cats and there isnt many games where you play as a cat. And yet – what puts me off this game is how the game holds your hand all the time.
RDR2 – bought it, couldnt launch it because great rockstar social club error code 1, refunded, pirated it, played for 30 min and uninstalled. I guess im just tired of rockstars formula where you have to do excatly what and how they wanted you to do.
Omori.
