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.

This kind of applies for Far Cry 5, in the region in the bottom left of the map progressing enough will have kidnapped and brought to a bunker which you have to escape. You lose everything you have on you, while you can get your guns back you have purchase all grenades and ammo again which costs a lot.

It applies also to the whole story of Far Cry 5. I don't think any other video game ending made me that angry.

Yeah, I stopped playing the game about halfway through as I saw what was coming, looked it up to verify and never bothered finishing it. The entire game is about taking away player agency. Not even the character's agency, but you the player. Everything you do is for nothing and the story is a gigantic middle finger to everything you hoped to achieve. I won by not accepting that outcome and uninstalling.
