doom eternal - the lore is just stupid and the platforming is frustrating too. On the other hand i like the combat system in the main campaign, the dlc is frustration level 100% in this case xp

Calico for Switch. I played the demo for PC like, waaaaaaaaay back and I had no idea the game was coming out until I saw the trailer on the Nintendo Direct. I bought it immediately, I was so excited. But I wasn't able to play it bc the frame skipping and stuttering made me super nauseous.
It just felt really unfinished, the physics were off, I wasn't able to complete some early tasks, etc. I'm fairly sure this was the first game release by a super small team, and I did hear that they updated it but I still haven't gotten an update for Switch, at least.
Not a huge disappointment considering the circumstances and price, but yeah. I'm usually really open to ""jank"" in games and like experiences that are different, but I gotta be able to play the game.
Other than that, I think maybe the Secret of Mana remake. The new music was a little lackluster, the voice acting was............. hm......... and the new art design somehow manages to be both colorful and bland at the same time. I love super colorful and bright games, don't get me wrong, and I loved the designs that were released of the cast:

but the actual game is really flat. There are some gameplay decisions that were kinda sucky too. Still playable and enjoyable tho!
Thanks for a fun forum topic! ପ(๑•ᴗ•๑)ଓ ♡

Monster Hunter on the Xbox One comes to mind. I was glad to see it come to Gamepass and looked forward to killing some monsters, however once I got into the game it was clunky, I didn't like the combat mechanics and frankly the grind to improve weapons was such a hassle. I ended up un-installing it.

Tears of the Kingdom. The moment I was over the "OMG BOTW 2" hype, I realized the game is very very boring.
Also Tales of Arise, didn't think they could write something that bad but alas, they succeeded in writing something that bad.
