ET. Commodore 64. What a useless game. I felt ripped off even when it was free. I was 7 years old then
Mountain - pointless idle game.
New Tales from the Borderlands - Perhaps the most egregious and worst game I've played on Steam thus far. Cringe gen Z/millennial writing and humor that existed in Borderlands 3, but made even worse for this game, and it makes me worry for Borderlands 4.
Serious Sam 1 - The first Serious Sam from the early 2000s was just a gameplay demonstration to showcase their engine being able to spawn and handle waves after waves of enemies, an impressive feat for the time, but this resulted in a terrible video game that doesn't really hold up to time with its HD remakes.
Marvel's Avengers - Underwhelming superhero game that had much more potential that it couldn't find. The game was so bad developers had to shut it down just three years after it released.
CryoFall - Boring, grindy game that can't decide if it wants to be hardcore or casual.
Pathologic Classic HD - I know this is a "cult classic" and perhaps the sequel is a bit better but it came across as very "we developers think we are sophisticated and philosophical" and the writing is obnoxious, and the gameplay bad because it doesn't hold up to modern expectations.
Zombie Army Trilogy - Rebellion tried to make a zombie game based around their Sniper Elite engine and gameplay, clearly inspired by Left 4 Dead, but came 10 years too late.
Space Hulk: Deathwing - Warhammer 40k universe but I think it's really clunky and slow.
Evil West - Boring, repetitive.
Bendy and the Ink Machine - Not as great as people make it out to be. It's just a run and fetch horror game, "horror" being debatable. It's more charming than anything with its color schemes and cartoony characters.
Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunt - Basically a mobile game ported to Steam
Rogue Rocks - Another Asteroids clone
The worst game on my Steam account would have to be StarForge, a ~2013-14ish survival/crafting Minecraft-like that got abandoned and it's Steam page is long deleted.
Also, Cube World, and Hazen:Dark Whispers.
"Real" / supposedly-good games that I just couldn't get into or enjoy. . . hmm, the Witcher; Call of Juarez:Gunslinger; Risen 2. . . of course, that doesn't make them bad, they just didn't click for me. /shrug
Ultima 3. I enjoyed it a lot at first. As I got more into it, my excitement slowly started to turn into frustration. There was so much about it that I liked and yet so much that pissed me off. Like many early 80s RPGs, it was really nothing but a series of brutal combats. If I was going to bang my head against a wall, I preferred Wizardry. I absolutely loved the next few Ultima games, though, which focused more on plot and were groundbreaking.
Dragon Wars, a late 80s RPG from Interplay. I can't really put my finger on exactly what I disliked the most, but I think it was probably the magic system. The whole early game was annoying and tedious, like the worst of the early 80s RPGs, but it lacked the charm of games like Wizardry and Bard's Tale. If I remember correctly, I never even bothered to escape from the starter dungeon.
The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall. I was big fan of the first game, and Morrowind is one of my favorite RPGs of all time. However, I go back and forth on my opinions of Daggerfall. It's wide but shallow; huge but empty; ambitious but buggy. For every positive, there's at least one negative. I've been meaning to give Daggerfall Unity a chance, but my memories of the original hold me back.
The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. After the weird masterpiece that was Morrowind, Bethesda followed it up with a bland, generic fantasy world that leveled up with you. I've since come to appreciate Oblivion more, and I've even thought about buying the remaster. However, there's no denying that Oblivion pissed me off greatly at the time. What's the point of even leveling up when every peasant in the world automatically levels up with you?
There were also a bunch of terrible first-person shooters released in the early to mid 1990s after Wolf3D and Doom. I really disliked most of them. I didn't even like Half-Life or Quake all that much. I just wanted to shoot imps with a shotgun, so I kept playing Doom throughout the 90s.
Settlers New Allies. It's a disgrace to the franchise. And so my favourite will remain The Settlers II 10th Anniversary..... probably forever more.
