Which games are the worst offenders for letting you upgrade a character/inventory only to lose it all part way through the game. (alien.top)

I am playing Horizon Zero Dawn and haven’t gotten to the first main event, but it gives me this feeling like if I upgrade all my equipment now it might be for nothing. I know that is not the case, I looked it up, but what are some games that are the worst offenders? One I can think of is Aerith in the original FF7.

As perfectly brutal as the mechanics can be, it doesn't even begin to broach how emotionally devastating the story is.

It's hilarious and somewhat hopeful, but in the end that is just to keep you hooked until it could rip your soul to shreds in its final act.

I've never played a game that hated the player as much as this one, and it's one my favorite games I've ever played.
