Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it?

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 ehich I didn’t really get. New Vegas did rhe 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.

Planet Zoo.

As a kid who grew up playing Zoo Tycoon, I was STOKED for a new Zoo management game. I even built a whole new computer to run it.

Turns out it’s more of a 3-D modeling program than a management/simulation game. And I don’t have the time or patience to figure it out.

This is the one for me as well. I spent hundreds of hours as a kid playing zoo tycoon and was very hyped for Planet Zoo. I still can’t quite place what makes it so unfun but it was pretty heart breaking.

Every. single. action. is. so. tedious. The second I tried to place my first path and build an enclosure, I knew I was in over my head.

I understand the finicky controls are what allow people to build incredible, elaborate structures. But I don’t want to spend 12 hours designing a crystal monkey enclosure.
