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.
