I stopped anticipating games to live up to expectations very long time ago, but I admit I had few slip ups over last 2 decades with some of my favourite IPs. In order of appearance:

Fallout 3 - semi-descent RPG, but Bethesda painfully knows nothing (or doesn't care) about actual Fallout that folks at Interplay created.

Tomb Raider Reboot - sort of a disappointment, since from the very first trailer there were big warning signs that it will have nothing to do with actual TR games

LoZ: BotW - I was hoping it will be more like Zelda 1 (non-linear gated open world), that retains 3D Zelda era dungeons, but has overworld and structure like the LoZ1 (since there isn't quite any other Zelda, apart from the original, that does that, and I find that to be best balance between exploration and dungeoneering)...it was sadly something very different.

Baldur's Gate 3 - AKA Divinity: Forgotten Realms...great as megadungeon crawler, average as CRPG, subpar as D&D 5e game and piss poor as Baldur's Gate game.
