What game did you hate even after sinking a lot of time into it?

I've been revisiting anno 2205, infamously the ugly duckling of the Anno series of RTS games. I don't mind so much the fact that it's different, lacks customisation and random map generation - I'm bothered because the game is so slow to progress through on challenge settings, and it feels like a game designed just to artificially waste your time; in other anno games, you can always pull tricks to dig yourself out of economic crisis - selling off assets and surplus goods, completing quests for other parties, or taking loans. 2205 is very very confined in terms of what you can do to financially recover in the early game and forces you into a lot of military events.
I'd be willing to wishlist this game if they ripped out the grind (there's no financial incentive to keep it if it's no longer a gacha) and used proper English translation. (Lack of voiceover isn't that much of a deal-breaker.)
