The Games Xbox Series X|S Fans Say They Regret Buying – SlashGear

Some players regret buying certain Xbox Series X|S games for various reasons that don’t fall into either of the two categories listed above. This could be anything from personal preference, to poorly optimized gameplay. There are plenty of such games, which shows us just how diverse the Xbox player base is — one gamer’s trash may be another gamer’s treasure.

One user said that “Anthem” was very poorly done, and it appears that the general audience agrees. According to Metacritic, the game only received an average score of 59 out of 100 based on critic reviews, and a user score of 4 out of 10. “Mass Effect: Andromeda” is also cited as an unfortunate purchase, although it fared a little better in reviews.

The list continues with some of the most popular games of the last few years, including “NHL 21” and “NHL 22,” “Cities: Skylines,” “The Witcher 3,” “Saints Row 2022,” and “Lego Star Wars: Skywalker Saga.” Older titles make an appearance too, including the acclaimed “Civilization VI.”

If you, too, have some games you wish you hadn’t bought, remember that Microsoft has a refund policy for digital Xbox games. However, you can only request refunds if you haven’t accumulated a lot of playtime, so the choice will need to be made quickly if you want to get your money back. Games bought in brick-and-mortar stores can often be returned too, but this depends on the retailer.
