Overall I feel successful in my game shopping, made a lot of returns as well. But I do regret getting a couple games (even on sale) I grabbed wasteland 2 because I felt nostalgic for the old fallout games, but it felt unfinished.

The other game that had positive reviews was project zomboid, which is clunky to play, and while it might be progressing in its development, feels slow, like I should check back on it ina year or so. I'm considering grabbing Vein as a replacement.

Anyone else feel like a game or hardware was disappointing?

I was disappointed to find that Red Dead Redemption 2 is just a linear series of cutscenes without any real player agency - more graphic novel than game. I thought it was going to be Skyrim with guns when I bought it. Its the last game I'll buy without demoing/pirating first.

RDR2 is a game at odds with itself.

A supreme open world, combined with a story mode so linear that you can fail missions by taking a few steps in the wrong direction.

This is shocking to me. I found it to be the best open world game ever made. One of the few I ever went back and played again.

You could hunt, fish, explore, etc. for 100+ hours without finishing the story. Ask me how I know.

This being one of the games that turned me off AAA single player narrative action adventure games. They're pretty much TV shows but not as good as TV shows yet take way longer than TV shows to develop so why play these games

Are you sure you got the right game? I got over 170 hours of fun out of it. My niece plays it exclusively as a horse simulator.

It does have too many lengthy linear sections (in my opinion) but once you're allowed to free roam it's possibly one of the best open worlds ever made.
