Games you bought for the graphics and regretted

Ghostwire Tokyo. The city looks amazing, but gameplay is very repetitive and dull.
The Las of Us part 1 on PC. Game looks amazing at times, but gameplay is very bland and bare bones, especially stealth.
Hellblade 2. Best tech demo of 2024. But one of the worst games. Fortunately, I got it on Gamepass.

It physically hurt me.
 
The order 1886. I like the gunplay but game is too short,boring boss, boring melee finisher,...

Horizon forbidden west. The game is just boring plus Aloy talks too much.

Ubisoft? But even Ubisoft games are above average, that doesn't mean every game they make is right for me.

There was a game on the original Xbox that was like a tie in with Mercedes Benz iirc called World Racing. It looked amazing but it was absolutely soulless. Racing superbly modelled vehicles through stunning landscapes isn’t a lot of fun when the world is completely sterile and there’s no real excitement.

-Ratchet and clank rift apart. They hyped up the awesome graphics and seamless load times of levels, and this game was one of the early "next gen only" game, but when I played it, I saw a game that was mid at best and was very forgettable.
-Killzone 2, 3, shadowfall. Overhyped mess with poor controls, weak story and the multiplayer died so fast.
-Assassins creed unity. Looked "next gen" for its time, but the game is mid at best.

Eh... I think I never did.

I have bought disappointing games that happened to look good, but graphics were never the sole reason to get those (FF13 comes to mind).
 
Horizon Zero Down

What a boring game! Damn...

Poorly designed, ugly and boring character, terrible game progression, it seems like an endless checklist... besides the graphics, everything, absolutely everything is wrong in this game.

Come to think of it, I don't remember buying it, lol... I don't know how it manifested itself in my collection at the time.

Killzone Shadow Fall

It was just dull and boring to play. Very uneven and frustrating. Good showcase title though.

About Porsche Challenge, lol, i wanted it aftet i tried the demo. It looked ridiculously good at the time. I wanted to wait on a discount and once it was i had moved on. Part of the famous Demo One discs.
