Not counting games that were unfun because of bugs, what’s the most unfun video game that you’ve played and what made it unfun? (kbin.cafe)

Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.

Maybe not the most unfun game I have ever played (I've played games since the late 90s), but certainly the most unfun I have played in recent years: Elex.

I liked Piranha Bytes' old Gothic series a lot despite its weaknesses and idiosyncrasies. The Risen games weren't that great, but the reviews for Elex were pretty promising. So I gave it a shot, and tried for about 16 hours to find the fun in it. I stopped playing when I realised:

I couldn't hold my own in almost any battle because I didn't have good enough gear
In order to get better gear, I had to join one of the game's factions
In order to join one of the factions, I had to perform a number of tasks for them
The factions were all just dickheads, and I didn't want to do anything for them, much less their dirty work

So yeah, no fun to be had with this one.
