My most recent is Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection. Input lag is bad in many of the games. Online features are bare-bones. Sound/music is bad.
Does Steam still honor full refunds if a purchase was used less than two hours in total?

I bought the NES Predator video game used from some rinky-dink video rental place when I was a kid.

Holy shit does that game suck.

Batman Arkham Knight. Played the hell out of Asylum, City, and even Origins. But something about this game didn't really do it for me. I think the open world aspect of it made it feel smaller to me. Missed the various locations you entered and explored. Played it to the finish, uninstalled, and never even thought of going back.
The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
Everything else, is theory.

I admit it, double dragon revive ain't worth the 34.99 I paid for it lol.

Back on the PS4 I bought left alive day 1 because it was a front mission action slash stealth spin off game and in my head I pictured it like a modern era metal warriors from the SNES.

*The boxart is also by the metal gear solid 1 through 3 artist and that added to my hope that it'll he good*.

The game is absolutely awful. Like soon you start playing its obvious how bad it is.

Silksong for a recent example.

Took about 2 hours of playing before I realized I didn't really care about playing a Hollow Knight prequel and I wasn't enjoying the severely amped up difficulty from the first game so I uninstalled.

Red Steel 2.

"Red Steel 2 showcases some good ideas and has the potential for a great game, but falls well short. It was released in a bare-bones state, arguably unfinished, and definitely unpolished. Some copies contain serious bugs that can break save data and require chapter resets, wiping out an hour or more of progress. Even without the bugs, there's little value here. The best recommendation for Red Steel 2 is to sit down, lower your expectations, turn off the impulse to explore, enjoy the combat, upgrade your powers like crazy, and blitz through the game. Seek not the lasting impression, and never look back."

Full review for those who want to see it. https://videogamegeek.com/thread/630889/plight-of-the-kusagari

Soul Hackers 2. Bought it for full price at launch, barely played an hour, got sidetracked by other games, and saw that it went on sale for 40% off 2 weeks later.

Dead Rising. I know a lot of people like the time limit, but I'm very glacial and when it comes to playing games, and tend to draw things out. Once I queued up some side missions and realized it was all timed, I didnt want to have anything to do with it.
I play the same way, but the more I hear about DR1 the more I want to play this "for the first time."

Care to explain? If you played DD you know DD II has QoL features not in the original, including guaranteed loot, alternate paths, and travel methods.

Tekken Advance for Gameboy Advance.

It was impressive for about 15 minutes and then the novelty of a 3D fighter on Gameboy wore off and I realized there was very little to do and the gameplay was dead simple. I regretted spending $30 on it.

The Wii U as a whole, along with the Wii. Played all its relevant games and had nothing besides smash and maybe Mario kart to play the last few years of its life. I never brought a switch actually because I thought itd be more of the same.

For games probably MH wilds. One of the most boring and forgettable MH games or AAA games in general Ive ever played and beaten. From the story, characters, music, gameplay, environments, everything. That and the game doesnt even feel finished.

FF15 also for a boatload of reasons. Oh and KH3.

Project X Zone.

I went back and forth on it, but was ultimately won over by the cool cast and flashy animations.

I absolutely hated it. It was the most dry strategy game I've ever played and the individual fights within the maps were all the same and just got old fast.

I tried to hang in there with it, but I couldn't finish it.

The Metro series. I'm a curious adventurer in games and I love to take my sweet time, so the mask/filter system (a.k.a. being timed) proved itself a nuisance and killed any interest I had to play it.

Tomb Raider (2013), on PC. The camera shake really got under my skin, but after finding out there's a patch to stop it, the game had proven itself so mid to me that I couldn't be arsed to take that extra step to keep playing it, and just gave it up.

Every assassins creed game that came out after the Ezio trilogy except black flag. Holy shit they all were ass

Tekken 7 - horrible online net code

Every Kingdom Hearts game after 2 final mix
lol I had only played AC1 a few times (never finished it) and Black Flag before I played through Origins. I loved it so much I marathoned the entire series.
I don't think the games were that bad, though Odyssey was definitely pretty rough with its big ass endless boring world.

I don't guess I've got one. Even the worst games I've ever played, like Devil May Cry 1, Lego Racers and Ace Combat Advance, had some sort of enjoyment to them.

Altered Beast was completely unredeemable, but then again, I didn't pay for it. It came in a collection I got for a birthday way back.
