High Guardian Spice. I'm not personally an enjoyer of it, but the amount of criticism it received was vastly, vastly out of proportion simply because it was "woke".
And as Ada said, trans people.

Recency bias answer, but City Skylines 2
They bit off way more than they could chew with the new game and it shows. Now, it has some good ideas that I'm happy for implemented, like upgradable buildings and base resource extraction. However, I feel like this has been part of Paradox Plaza's problem in not having a clear design vision that has been fully vetted before going into production.
I'm sure the game could end up like Stellaris where the game is rewritten in a way to make it fun, but that is going to take some time.
Does it show? This is exactly what I'm talking about. I don't understand any of your criticism of CS2. What vision is missing?
The economy and traffic are a lot more fake than the game lets on. The developers tried building in an actual housing market, but ended up having to get rid of all the landlords. There is an idea of resources being used, but it isn't really implemented.
It might have better if the devs promised less as part of their dev diaries, but here we are. It says something that they can't release a DLC because the game doesn't feel finished enough to warrant a DLC.

Ghostbusters: Answer the Call
Yeah. I'm a huge ghostbusters nerd. I really enjoyed it. There's one quick change that could be made that would have made it tons better. Set it in Boston and make them a franchisee. Making it a spinoff instead of a reboot.
Same. I loved Ghostbusters as a kid, while everyone else was about gi Joe and Ninja turtles. I even like extreme Ghostbusters and the last two movies.
But AtC was just blah. Not very funny. Trying to do the same old stuff. A lot of it felt like they were trying to just tick checkboxes off.

Nah Imma let it ring
If that movie had not come out in 2016, it might've been somewhat okay. The problem also is that they picked the most unfunny female comedians that they could find. But because it came out in 2016, it was criticized for being "woke".
Holtzmann made that movie. I still tingle when she goes to town with the dual proton pistols.
Pokemon go. There were always people eager to tell you how it's not very good. Like, ok. Do you want me to stop having fun now, or is there a grace period, or?
Though ironically I do have a bit of a "fun police" impulse around dungeons and dragons via "oh my gosh why are you doing a social intrigue game with this rules set" I've been working on keeping that to myself.
The Berkeley professor jam.
It has a lot of really cool elements. Most of it is really good. Everything is just all at the same time in the clip which is... Challenging to listen to.
