Star Wars battlefront 2. Decided it had dropped in price enough, would buy it second hand (so no money went to EA) and I could ignore the lootboxes as I always do. The game looked great and assault mode looked like a blast on the faithful recreations of key SW locations.

Wrong.

The game does indeed look great but plays like an absolute mess. It's nigh on impossible to spot enemies across the maps and my HUD was constantly filled with bizarrely flashes of varying colours, with no explanation of what it meant. Also for a fast paced shoot, the spawn screen slowed it down a lot, somehow they'd managed to give a multiplayer focused game pacing issues. Fortunately as it was second hand, I was able to return it the next day for a full refund.

Realised that this is actually a problem I have with many EA games - lack of polish. I had similar pacing problems with Battlefront 1. Every FiFA game has that oddity where it asks your lanaguage on bootup. Come to the conclusion (belatedly) that EA games are a lost cause.
