Since they're in the news atm, the Horizon games both launched at a bad time, right before BotW and Elden Ring. Launching in Februari and still losing all its hype to the much more highly anticipated games.
Another game that released too early is From Dust. Launching in 2011 on PS3 and 360 very much restricted the level size. The mechanics are awesome, held back by the small map size. It could have been an epic original strategy game like Populous the beginning, instead it felt more like a demo.
It was fun playing in the sandbox but quickly lost its appeal bouncing of the map bounderies all the time. Imagine it releasing today with multiplayer and large sprawling maps.
