9. Evolve

This game was super hyped and promoted as the next big multiplayer game. And many gamers took the bait that developer Turtle Rock Studios laid out—i.e. four players take on a fifth player who is a gigantic, ever-evolving monster. However, once released, it didn’t take long for people to realize that there was a serious lack of content to this game. The online gaming community spotted that this was a turd and fled pretty quickly. Sure, Evolve is kind of enjoyable for a few hours. But the game has no legs and becomes tiresome real fast. That is because there is not much to do, and the gameplay is mind numbingly repetitive. Plus, the big showdowns that were expected occur infrequently, and the team versus monster exchanges are not much more than clumsy battles. But the big piss off was the ridiculously overpriced downloadable content. All in all, a bad release from the studio that had previously scored with Left 4 Dead.

8. The Order: 1886

Billed as a AAA (highest quality development game) in the same vein as the gorgeous Ryse: Son of Rome, The Order: 1886 was highly anticipated. However, the game disappointed everyone when released. Not only is the length of the game too short, at just eight hours, but the execution is horrendous. Four of the game’s levels are nothing more than unplayable cut scenes that gamers are forced to sit through and watch passively. And, when you do get a chance to actually play the game, the combat is incredibly faulty, glitchy and loaded with a bunch of redundant quick time events. It all adds up to a massive disappointment. After all, who wasn’t looking forward to fighting vampires in Victorian England? This could have, and should have, been one of the best video games of the year—and the start of a new series for developer Sony. Instead, it drove a stake through the hearts of gamers everywhere.
