Overall I feel successful in my game shopping, made a lot of returns as well. But I do regret getting a couple games (even on sale) I grabbed wasteland 2 because I felt nostalgic for the old fallout games, but it felt unfinished.

The other game that had positive reviews was project zomboid, which is clunky to play, and while it might be progressing in its development, feels slow, like I should check back on it ina year or so. I’m considering grabbing Vein as a replacement.

Anyone else feel like a game or hardware was disappointing?

    If you can handle the complexity, I recommend Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. Project Zomboid is like a far simpler and scaled-down game played in real time. I don’t like PZ because of the uncurable infection mechanic coupled with the combat, which is just awful. CDDA has an extremely unforgiving learning curve (like, Dwarf Fortress is IMHO considerably easier to come up to speed on), but is very deep. It’s open-source and free, though they also have a build on Steam if you want to donate.
