2023 was a year where many of the biggest games in the gaming world were released throughout the year.
But sometimes bombs were also hidden. There were matches that seemed uneasy from the start, but there were also matches that were considered highly anticipated. What failed games made users cry and angry this year? And how many have you avoided? Also, what was the game we were eagerly anticipating but disappointed?
Go Fork
‘Forked’ is a game that has been rated as a highly anticipated game. Hajime Tabata, who developed “Final Fantasy 15”, went independent as Luminous Productions and began developing open-world action games. And the game that was born was “Forpoken”. However, this game showed uncomfortable aspects through the demo version released before the release. Ultimately, it showed a willingness to improve by postponing the release date, but it couldn’t avoid negative reviews after its release. Although it is an open world game, it has an empty field, sloppy shots, and an unattractive protagonist and gameplay story. Here’s a short one… It went from being a highly anticipated work to being rated as a subpar work, and eventually Luminous Productions was acquired by Square Enix.
red pole
Arcane Studio under Bethesda. You can tell he’s a pretty solid developer through projects like “Dishonored.” Arcane Studio’s new work ‘Redfall’ has been rated as a highly anticipated work. Xbox users expected to enjoy “Redfall” in the first half of this year and “Starfield” in the second half of the year. These games were so anticipated that even PlayStation users felt disappointed when they became an Xbox exclusive due to Microsoft’s acquisition of Zenimax. However, “Redpoll” received the worst reviews since its release. The graphics, modeling, game structure, and poor story made it hard to believe it was a AAA masterpiece. With its empty open world, monotonous missions, and sloppy optimization, it became a game that tarnished the reputations of Arcane Studio and Bethesda.
the lord of the rings gollum
“The Lord of the Rings” is considered a great work of fiction and film. However, it didn’t achieve much success as a game. Since the games released by EA in the past were not very impressive, the “Lord of the Rings” games gradually disappeared. Meanwhile, a game featuring Gollum, a popular character from “The Lord of the Rings”, appeared as the main character. However, after its release, this game was rated the biggest failure of the year. Sloppy graphics, boring gameplay structure, and even surprising bugs that make you wonder if it went through QA. In the end, it received the worst reviews, and the development team at Dedalic Entertainment, which developed this game, was disbanded.
RT closures
‘Closers RT’ is the game that received the worst reviews among domestic mobile games released this year. Even though this game, based on a successful original work called ‘Closers’, was created by the original developer, it did not take advantage of the original’s strengths at all. Since the 2014 game “Closers” had been running for a long time, had a fan base and was considered a successful game, “Closers RT” was also a highly anticipated game. However, “Closers RT” showed many flaws in many ways, including lower quality graphics than the original and a failure to capitalize on the amazing feeling that was the original’s strong point. Ultimately, this game suffered the unfortunate fate of being given an end-of-service notice only a week after its release.
star field
Todd Howard is famous as a world-class developer. Series like “The Elder Scrolls” created by him are considered one of the best works by role-playing game fans. In particular, “The Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim” has been gaining popularity for more than 10 years due to its infinite modes. And “Starfield,” a space-set game he had been developing for a long time, was expected to become the most talked-about game of the year, surpassing “The Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim.” Xbox users expected this game to be the savior of Xbox. However, as soon as it was released, the game disappointed fans with its outdated gameplay. As expected from a masterpiece, the graphics were good, but it was criticized for a game system that did not develop from “Skyrim”. It was rated as quite fun, but overall it was a game that didn’t meet expectations and made users turn away.
The Rise of Kong in Skull Island
I didn’t know that at least one game on the level of “Gollum” would be released this year. “Skull Island Rise of Kong” is a game with ridiculous level design, physics engine bugs, and numerous bugs that make it hard to believe it was a game released in the 1920s. The graphics are also amazing. It displays low-level graphics that makes you think it’s a game from the 90s. At least the battle has the basic level as a basic 3-step combo, evasion and dash attack, but it’s a battle. No, the gameplay is too boring and simple. In fact, everything except the battle system felt clunky and incomplete, making it a game that kept you laughing the entire time you played it. Obviously it’s a ridiculous laugh.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3
The “Call of Duty” series is famous for being the best-selling game every year. However, this year’s “Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3” is a little different. In the “Call of Duty” series, the scope of individual missions was reduced every year due to high development costs and long development periods, but this time it was even worse. The structure of the game makes me think that it could be a revisitation of a production from another series or something like Warzone. And the length of the game is too short… But the price of the game is still high. The ‘Call of Duty’ series is released every year, but after ‘Vanguard’ and ‘Modern Warfare 2’, it once again showed shortcomings in individual missions and the completeness of the game. As a result, “Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3” received the worst reviews of the recent series, and sales also declined. If this happens 2-3 more times, the reputation of “Call of Duty” could become a thing of the past.
The fate of the Walking Dead
Another failed game after “Skull Island Rise of Kong” is “The Walking Dead Destiny”. Poor AI, poor level design and bugs. Here, most of the event scenes are deleted scenes. The only advantage of this game seems to be that it allows the story to unfold in a different way than the original. Given that some “Walking Dead” games have been well received, there may be fans who expected this game along with the popularity of the original comics and dramas. However, the AI was so sloppy that everything, whether it was a normal enemy or a boss fight, seemed pathetic and comical.
The day before
‘The Day Before’ was a highly anticipated film. Watching the video trailer released in 2021 makes me think that I should add this game to my wishlist. Zombies, survival and MMO elements are elements used in many games, but “The Day Before” has received attention as a highly anticipated work. On Steam it ranked second on Steam users’ wishlist in January 2023. This was higher than “Starfield” and the expectations for this game were so high. However, the release of this game was postponed several times and was released at the end of this year. However, unlike the video trailer, it caused shock and fear. The game’s structure and system don’t even adhere to the basics of an open world game, and various bugs are rampant. The server forced me to hold back because I couldn’t log in, and the frame drops were also severe. Ultimately, the game received the worst criticism and developer Fantastic announced it was shutting down after 4 days.
