This is an easy one: The Last of Us. The story was great, but gameplay was mediocre, and the much-appraised immersion was crushed by the insane amount of killing. One man and a girl kill what must be dozens, if not hundreds, of other people, and this is what people call immersive? No, no, just no. My immersion was killed by that before I was halfway through the game. It doesn't help that the game felt pretty long for its mediocre gameplay. It had great ideas in theory, but execution felt very much flawed in my opinion. I still haven't played Part II because of the sour taste left by the first game, and that's despite me actually being fairly interested in it - I just worry it'll be more of the same but with some improvements. I even passed a really good deal on the game maybe a few years back.

Just for the record, I love Uncharted. I dislike shooters on consoles and it hurts the Uncharted games too, but overall, I do love them anyway. The Last of Us I really dislike though, despite the good elements.
