Edit to clarify: I pre-ordered the special edition for $99, definitely was not worth the price
Crazy-Theory2933
Saints Row remake
Roman-EmpireSurvived
Starfield, but I played more than 2 hours hoping it’d get better.
StepUpYourPuppyGame
Mario Strikers Switch.
You had a decade to make a 3rd game, God it was bad….
zygotepariah
Diablo 3.
DrashkyGolbez
Much of the MMORPGs that released the last decade
LastLivingSouls
Civ 7
Nerv_Agent_666
Calypso Protocol. I bought it for my PS5, but damn I wish I could’ve gotten a refund.
NovelChipmunk3210
No Man’s Sky back in the day…
JayR_97
Star Citizen. I regret ever giving them any money
Trickatelius
Kerbal Space Program 2 – wildly disappointing.
Steamedcarpet
King of Fighters XV. I know I’m not good at fighting games but always like them visually. I decided to buy KOF XV on a whim thinking “I’ll get better”.
I got my ass handled to me in the first online match I tried I put in a refund request to steam.
Maverickhero36
Sonic 06. Friend convinced me to buy that over Bayonetta.
We aren’t friends anymore.
SiHO_colus
Final Fantasy 15 on Microsoft Store for PC. the performance is so atrocious and the fact the Devs put it in a secured path, not allowing me to fix their Shit with Mods want me to sue them.
Redstorm8373
The newest Saints Row game.
I played it for free, and I still feel like I’m owed some kind of refund for that.
Power Rangers Rita’s Rewind… before the updates. Now it’s mildly pleasant
coffeetalkcafe
No Man’s Sky when it was first released
Deses
Forza Horizon 5. Millennial writing at its worse.
VagusNC
Civilization 7
I say this as an OG Civ fan who has made intentional decisions to support the franchise throughout the years since its inception.
Not only was it buggy, uninteresting, with unbelievably bad decisions around elements of the game that were yanked out and/or included; if you have modding tools installed on your system *you cannot run the game*
Let me reiterate – If you have modding tools installed on your personal computer that are not even associated with Civ 7, *it will not let you run the game*. Not single player. NOTHING.
The notion that they believe they have the right to scan your system and prevent you from running a game that you paid for is unbelievable.
NKnown2000
Elden Ring Nightreign.
Not because the game is bad. It’s probably great for those who like that kind of games. But as someone without two friends to play, my teammates just rushed everywhere and killed everything before I could participate. Or when I found an enemy, I got to fight it alone and died, only to realize nobody will revive me. It just made me feel quite incompetent and sad, not something I personally look from a game.
I’m just more of a single player person and enjoy being able to look at the scenery and take my time exploring. Nightreign was not that for me.
Dabidokun
Warcraft 3 Reforged
Lamescrnm
Battlefield 2042. That last game I will ever pre-order.
Palmsiepoo
For me, Palworld.
The game felt so empty and unfinished. But I couldn’t see past the pokemon with guns joke.
Really unenjoyable game
ZippyRS
Battlefield 2042. Booted it up saw the hero shooter gameplay and refunded.
High_King_Diablo
ARK survival evolved. Except I played for 10 hours and wasn’t eligible for a refund. I don’t have a single good thing to say about that abomination of a game.
Tetrachrome
Monster Hunter Wilds, or basically every game with performance issues that aren’t rectified for months on end.
_kris2002_
Starfield
I looked everywhere for that Bethesda charm and fun but it was nowhere to be found.
Spend like 30 hours going like “surely soon it will get better” nope.
It’s one of the few games that made me want a refund + bored me so much i genuinely rethought all my life decisions and stopped gaming for a while (I wish I was joking), that game made me genuinely feel like I was wasting my time, so I went to study extra instead for university.
throwawayaccount_usu
Starfield even though I got it on gamepass I feel like I’ve earned compensation for my troubles.
Sheik-Slayer
Death Stranding, the story seemed intriguing but the gameplay was like watching paint dry
Remote-Plate-3945
Monster Hunter Wilds on the Series S. It runs so damn bad.
KSleepCHB5423
Starfield! God I got suckered into liking it for the first 10 hours and then I realized holy shit, this is the same repetitive gameplay over and over again. Definitely one of the worst purchases I’ve made.

[Kenshi](https://store.steampowered.com/app/233860), as much as I want to learn the mechanics. I just don’t have time anymore. I have a job and I always get tired.
