Disregarding the absolutely unplayable and broken, I think it's a toss up between the 2008 Alone in the Dark or Final Fantasy 15. I'm more inclined towards the latter because I haven't played the former since release. It's just a godawful RPG, if you can even call it that, the game basically plays itself, has no depth whatsoever, the open-world is meaningless and empty of anything interesting. Not to mention the story is both dogshit and a confusing mess nonsensically split between different DLCs, movies and god knows what else. Definitely the worst big budget RPG (again, if you can even call it that) I've played so far, it's borderline insulting. The worst of it all? It was my first Final Fantasy and it was so bad it killed any interest I had in the series.
Oh man, that Alone in the Dark was a huge pile of shit. Probably the worst I've played.
Pile of shit is putting it lightly. At least it had some cool fire effects for its time.
I also didn't like AitD. The tank controls, static "3D" screens where you overlooked something if you didn't walk into every corner and a new screen presented itself... Oh wait, you're talking about a remaster? I'm talking about the original...
I haven't played the newer ones, but the series appears to have been going through an identity crisis since like, after FF10. If you are able and willing to try again, go for the classics.
