Progress Quest.
It's certainly funny but it is not a fun game. It plays itself. Literally. That's the point. It was something you ran along side with your mIRC client to show your uptime in a fun way.
I don't find any of those kinds of games fun. From Cookie Clicker to most mobile games, "idle games" are just the most unfun, un-game-like games ever made.
The binding of Isaac. You just do the same thing the whole game. You shoot stuff, and gather stupid RNG items. That's it, such a boring game
I tried playing Blasphemous recently and had to drop it in a couple hours. I might've stuck with it had I tried it when I was younger but I've discovered that nowadays I don't have the patience to play games that require you to beat your head against a brick wall until it breaks. So many frustrating enemy placements and insta-kill spikes, the movement is slow, the combat is unsatisfying, I just didn't feel like I had much incentive to continue playing (minus the art style which is absolutely gorgeous).
In recent memory the two that have stood out to me are Risk of Rain 2 and Halo 4. I thought some 3rd-person action in the former would be fun but I found the core loop and overall shooting boring after a couple run attempts so I guess it just didn't click for me.
Now Halo 4... I think gameplay in that title is an exercise in tedium. Add on (what is in my opinion as:) poor AI, a bit too much melodrama, dumb retcons, "do X three times!" a bit much and I got a campaign that felt like a chore and haven't touched it since I left off at the level with the Mammoth. The Prometheans are a pain to fight and I felt funneled into making do with Forerunner weapons to take ranged potshots at Watchers above all other targets and then rushing to kill the one Knight I was targeting before it regenerates, also above all other targets. Yuck. (Update: Coming back here since it occurred to me that I could sum it up as: my ability to make mid-combat decisions and play in the sandbox was kneecapped by poor enemy and maaaybe level design respectively.)
Good music though.
Eternal Sonata. It actually felt eternal, the whole game is just a super slow slog of boring repetitive combat with infrequent opportunities to save.
I'll go with a classic, "E.T. the extraterrestrial" on the Atari.... It was bad. It's badness is legendary for a reason.
Any multiplayer game. They sacrifice a deep and interesting storyline for the sake of pointless grinding and slaughtering.
