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 which I didn’t really get. New Vegas did the 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.
I hope it’s not Nightingale. I know there are closed betas running right now.
if it were nightingale the last dev update suggests that things i would probably have submitted a ticket about are being addressed in future playtests.
however it also suggests that we’re a ways off of even an early access release.
Not sure about that, the official website still mentions a fall 2023 release date (for early access, I assume).
i’m just going on the dev video from last month, that i only just saw today, haven’t been keeping up with the site or videos all that much. if they were to be announcing an early access date at say, the upcoming gamescom event where there’s a new trailer dropping, i would hope that the coming playtests between now and EA go quite smoothly indeed.

Darn.
