Review the last game you didn't finish
Inspired by JuntMonkey's review thread, here's the place to talk about the games you just couldn't or didn't want to finish before uninstalling. Try to stick to games you're pretty sure you won't be finishing, not ones you just got bored or sidetracked with and still plan to come back to.
Transformers: War for Cybertron | PC, XBox 360, PS3
I put about three hours in to this one before giving up. The voice acting is awesome and the characters are very cool, but the missions are so scripted and linear I couldn't be assed to keep going once I'd seen and heard my fill. The transforming is fun, in so far as it's very fluid and neat looking, but there didn't appear to be much thought put in to making the missions balanced upon an effective use of different forms. Megatron's tank form for example, had to be used in a few spots for boosting or shooting something with a cannon, but other than that I rarely used it.
The PC port is also pretty crappy, a really tight FoV from the console and the graphics look very low-res.

Returnal - I bought this roguelikr ages ago, found the gameplay good but brutally difficult, stopped playing. I gave it another bash after installing an easy mode mod and a mod that gives you extra lives. Despite all that, I died on the second boss. The thought of going through all those areas again was just... uninstall.
There's a great game lying under the uncompromising difficulty. The immensely frustrating thing is that your permanent power level barely increases. Each run starts with you just as weak as you were when you first played.
