like ordering takeout only to get home
and find out yet egg rolls are missing
these games are kinda like that welcome
to watchmojo.com down our picks for the
top 10 most disappointing games of 2018
2018 has been an absolute roller coaster
of a year click the link below to find
our best and worst of 2018 videos for a
look back at all the awesome and crazy
things that happened for this list we’re
looking at games that had as pumped at
one point in time but ultimately led us
down not everything on the list is
outright bad but rather they did not
meet our expectations just a quick note
though we won’t be talking about Metal
Gear survive here seeing as we had super
low expectations to begin with like
really low well I think we had a plan
let’s get started right away number 10
this series has been around for a long
time and grew stale in its last few
entries when news came along that the
ninth game was getting a serious
overhaul and being moved to an
open-world environment our ears perked
up and we were once again excited for
some hack and slash goodness there is no
one to give orders to the archers but
the jump to open-world gameplay just
didn’t work in this case and detracted
from the best elements of the dynasty
Warriors series the first paced combat
what we were left with was a game that
wasn’t a good sandbox adventure and one
that’s oddly enough was no longer a fun
action game either it’s kind of the
number nine Jurassic world evolution
when news first broke out that this game
was a sim type management game set
within the legendary theme park our
excitement was at an all-time high I
mean how cool a concept is that
unfortunately there was little in the
way of explanation of how to manage your
dinosaur film park and once you figured
it out there wasn’t anything more tool
in making for a repetitive and far too
simple game overall you need to medicate
there’s no doubt that it looks great and
it’s fun for a short time but we were
hoping for a dino simulation game with a
lot more depth that said however a few
tweaks could make this game a winner
next time around every day more exciting
than the last that’s my motto
this is another game that we really
wanted to be good being dropped into
hell and being forced to survive on our
wits and stealth is a very cool premise
and on top of that the initial gameplay
looked hauntingly beautiful
and Atmospheric but unfortunately the
gameplay just couldn’t live up to the
visuals and overall we felt like this
game could have benefited with a bit
it was quite buggy upon release the
stealth system never quite worked as
advertised and there was little in the
way of story ultimately our time in hell
just felt boring and unfinished and left
us wanting much more number seven we
happy few he wants to do a live
broadcast from here he’s coming here
there was a lot of hype surrounding
compulsion games ambitious emissive sim
but most of that quickly died away upon
the game’s release our own reviewer over
at mojo blaze found the story and will
building to be absolutely captivating
but it was all completely overshadowed
that’s the first fight I’ve won since
primary school the game’s stealth system
was well designed but frustrating to the
point of breaking the game due to
inconsistent 8i and glitches resulting
in being spotted a few patches of
surfaced since its release with some
issues improved but at the end of the
day all we can do is look back at how
this games potential ended up being
completely squandered do we really have
to do this
number 6 Kirby Star Allies the marketing
for this game didn’t feel genuine and we
can’t help but feel that Kirby’s latest
adventure was developed solely for
children but advertised as a game for
everyone it’s way too short too easy and
didn’t offer branching paths like in
previous Kirby games while it is indeed
cool to have multiple abilities mixed up
from your different allies it feels
completely meaningless when the game
doesn’t really give you any reason to
strategize your approach when stages of
[Music]
it’s a shame too considering this was
the first mainline cabbie game to go HD
[Music]
imagine exploring no man’s sky and a
cool ship backed by an actual story and
having Star Fox content to boot such a
game would clearly Rock know well it
does and it doesn’t
we’re rather conflicted with this one
seeing as the spaceship combat and
vibrant environments of each world are
all really good but the repetitive and
often bland quests made it feel like a
as eventually the game starts to feel
like a routine chore rather than an
engaging experience hey it was great
seeing fox mccloud again you guys need
all the help you can get
number four Secret of Mana remake this
SNES classic is one of the best jrpg
ever made p read the remake however came
across as a half-assed attempt by Square
Enix to cash in on nostalgia and was a
disservice to loyal fans its visuals
were outdated the hip boxes were
abhorrent and the soundtrack my god did
they butcher the soundtrack this is the
original
ah my ears if you’re able to overlook
all these things then Secret of Mana
could be enjoyable and recall some great
memories but that’s a lot to expect from
gamers seeing as it’s a remake and not
an original IP we just suggest playing
the far superior SNES classic vision and
forgetting this misstep number 3 state
of decay to the newest entry in
Microsoft Survival Series felt more like
an upgrade than a new game barely fixing
any of the problems from the original
title the sequel felt and polished and
[Music]
there were times the a glitch would lead
to cheap deaths that the game became
more frustrating than fun especially
seeing as there are no manual saves and
Pima death is a thing the ally AI was
pretty dumb overall and oftentimes
caused more trouble for us than they did
provide any benefits sure a lot of bugs
can be fetched but its release date was
as more and more information was
released about Bethesda’s online Fallout
game we stayed optimistic despite the
overwhelming consensus that something
just wasn’t right then the beta hits and
it was harder to ignore that it wasn’t
living up to expectations
unfortunately the full release didn’t
change our opinions either as the game
feels empty without NPCs or a main
storyline the open-world of West
Virginia is still really buggy and the
framerate hasn’t improved there’s no
doubt that Bethesda will tweak the
current state of Fallout 76 moving
forward but the fact that it was
launched in this barren broken state
where to start with this one well let’s
begin with the fact that our excitement
level for rez first major release since
their Kinect titles was at a fever pitch
not to mention that this was to be the
Xbox ones premiere exclusive for the
year so we couldn’t wait to tackle their
open-world pirate adventure but oh man
what a letdown for starters the lack of
guidance really hindered our first few
hours of play that was barely any
content and the lack of a proper
progression system gave us no reason to
stay around even now we’re finding it
hard to see how this game took four
years to develop with little to show for
