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 got Avowed for 50% off. Having played through most of it, I feel like I should have waited for a better price. Not outright bad, but fairly unexciting, badly optimized and I'm SO sick of RPGs with frequent character closeups that all have stoic facial expressions. Plus you just know that we're never going to get another Pillars of Eternity-style game from Obsidian again, it's like Microsoft took the IP and studio and just took a dump on them. I don't think I'm going to buy any future Obsidian games.

On the upside, I like the lore, story and voice acting (so far) and the combat was at least better than Skyrim's.
