Worst of 2014: The 12 Most Disappointing Games of 2014

Maybe I just have poor long-term memory, but I can’t think of a single year in history that had as many disappointing games as 2014. While there was a surplus of big releases, it’s become clear over time that many of them were forced into 2014. They clearly weren’t ready for prime time, and both consumers and publishers paid the price.

Sometimes games struggle at launch because of server issues. Others fall to bugs that the developer either didn’t catch in time or didn’t have the resources to fix. But the story of 2014 is that current-gen games had content cut in order to meet deadlines. They might have had good graphics, but it wasn’t enough.
