The original release of No Man's Sky, and Starfield.
I myself don't see them as bad games, but acknowledge the false promises, shortcomings, bugs, etc.
Personally I'd classify Starfield as solidly mediocre. Not anywhere near the revolution that Bethesda promised, but not awful as some people say either.
5/6 out of 10 is still good enough to play, just not worth AAA prices.
I prefer launch no man sky to what it is now. Sometimes you don’t need a hundred features and multiplayer in a game. Sometimes you just want to calmly explore the universe and feel alone for a bit. Not have a million things to do and pop ups . I have enough of that in my life and other games
Yes the feeling of being alone in a whole solar system was / is awesome. And launching into space for the first time.
I’ve always wanted a game that I could pilot from the planet to space and we’re here
Speaking of No Man's Sky, I got it for VR and never played it flatscreen, but I have over 100 hours in it even though the VR mode is ridiculously terrible and mods go only so far to fix some of the annoyances.
