Friend recommended one of the hitman games. But the steam port is so incredibly janky in regards to controller layout. And it was fucking made for consoles is what's bonkers!!!

Space marine 2. You shoot things with guns that don't feel powerful and you die if you don't have perfect reaction timing to do executes. I've never played a game where the world says "oh you're amazing and powerful!" but then makes you feel incredibly weak. Also, the timing for executes is not fun. It would be nice if they were bonuses but they are necessary to survive because they replenish your health. The gun gameplay is just shooting. No strategy. Boring. I'm going back to hell drivers 2.

Dispatch.

It goes the old telltale way of presenting fake choices that dont really matter because the optional character are being written out of team scenes mostly, one romance option is completely ignored because the devs clearly favoured the other and put her in every scene and the dispatching minigame they advertised the game with has absolutely 0 impact on anything. You could fail every dispatch, only do the mandatory ones and nothing would change.

I finally have a computer that can run Cyberpunk 2077, but it is such a dull game.

The Elden Ring.

The open world just did not do it to me. I enjoy much more tighter game world like in the previous souls games.

Most of the side bosses were unintresting and if you found them too late you were completely overpowered.

For me, it's borderlands 2

I thought the gameplay was pretty good, in a "turn your brain off and shoot guys with gradually increasing numbers" kind if way, and I absolutely adored whenever Handsome Jack showed up, but that's pretty much it

I've heard from more than a few sources that the shooting on that game's peak, but it's just kind of generic. Outside of Jack, I thought the writing was honestly pretty lacklustre as well, even getting annoying in more than one instance (CATCH A RIIIIIDE FUCK OFF DIPSHIT). The cell-shaded artsyle is quite pretty, I will give it that

At its core, I think it's just... fine.

Super Tux Party

I'm sorry but we need something more modern

Persona. I didnt play it to the end. Not even sure I past the tutorial. So many text boxes. So much dialogue.

Doom dark ages. Just upgraded my computer, and I thought 'hey, I really liked 2016 and eternal, this'll be great, and it's got great reviews'. Nah, the whole game just felt...okay. I might try it again at some point and mess with the difficulty settings, but I felt like I was forcing myself to play it the whole way through.

The Outer Worlds was so bad I had to put the controller down and abandon it. A fan made song got the feeling of "dystopian capitalism in space" better than the actual game did.

And an older one that'll get me burned at the stake: Fallout New Vegas is the worst of the first person fallout games.

Life

Bg3. I think the flaws are glaringly obvious and everyone has heard them already (inventory, everything after act 1, the main characters being generally gross) it's just whether they're a deal breaker for you personally. For me they are, especially inventory.

statisfactory 1.0: the game is pure eye candy there's no endgame. factorio is leaps and bounds better

Farthest Frontier.

I love city building games. They're my genre of choice. This one is hyped up to 11 as this great agent based logistics chain focused city sim. It's not. Like at all. The numbers are obfuscated to hell and back. It's got the slowest tier one to tier 2 transition I've ever played in a game like this. Very little does what it's reported to do. They added a useless tech tree to lock stuff up to get a sense of progression, when in reality it just adds a second layer of requirements and time to progress to the next stage of your city. They have a really frustrating combat system which is cool in thought, but poorly executed. The economy is fucked and barely makes any sense.

The most frustrating thing that's the biggest deal breaker is that pops don't move into the city upon building housing. You need extra people to fulfill basic laborer roles. I can fill up every job I've plopped and have 20 extra workers doing basic labor or nothing. Or I can have two extra workers and build more houses to increase the pop count. Problem is nobody moves in. One of the requirements to get to tier 3 is 200 pop. I can't break the 64 barrier let alone 100 because for some awful reason the dev decided to use a desirability score and not move pops in upon building a house. I have a population cap of 140 people and there's vacant houses everywhere. Yet shit don't change. I don't think peasants in the fucking 1400s gave a shit about market prices and luxury amenities when fucking bears and wolves attack every 5 minutes. Just move people in the houses when I build them.

The game is a looker. I'll give it that. Everything else is frustratingly bad.

Nine Sols. Played it right after finishing Silksong to keep the metroidvania kick going.

The parrying was some of the worst feeling parrying I've ever felt in any game, the world felt tiny and extremely linear, the narrative was predictable and felt extremely flat, and the final boss is the only time I've ever switched to a story mode difficulty in any game just to get it over with, I love difficult games but that difficulty spike is absurd and the game never remotely prepares you for that.

They advertise this game as a Sekiro-like metroidvania, while it feels like they completely miss what made Sekiro work or what a metroidvania is.
