This might be the low-key most baffling entry on this list. 

Cyberpunk graphic adventure 2064: Read Only Memories was never going to be everyone's cup of tea, but the marketing was totally upfront about the type of game it was, enough that few were likely to be left alienated by its prologue section alone.

But alas, a staggering 70.7% of players never even made it past said prologue and started the game proper, meaning they'd had enough after playing for 45 minutes or less.

That's wild, though might partially be explained by the game being available as part of the PlayStation Plus subscription service many moons ago, whereby large swaths of players might've tried it out just for the hell of it, only to swiftly realise it wasn't their bag, like, at all.

Even so, that's a bounce rate that'd be impressive if it weren't somewhat depressing considering the game's quality.
