Games so bad, they made Redfall look honorable. Yeesh.
It can be an unfortunate trend in our industry to lump games people were looking forward to that didn't end up meeting their expectations and were just okay (Forspoken) with games that are broken (Gollum) or little more than asset flips (The Day Before). If expectations (and price) had been set appropriately, Forspoken wouldn't even be that bad.

Sauare Enix must thank all these devs because it's because of them, Forspoken didn't make the list.
I thought MW3 was good. The campaign was a lot better than the last two CoDs.
