1. Skull and Bones
It took nearly 6 years for Ubisoft to complete Skull and Bones, but what the company received was not as expected. The game is being criticized a lot in major magazines, the game even receives many below average scores from critics.
“Skull and Bones is not the successor to Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag that many people are waiting for. The game has too many shortcomings in production with weak gameplay,” IGN's writer evaluated.
Even more harshly, PC Invasion's critic also gave the game a score of 4: “Instead of being an attractive open world game as many people think, Skull and Bones feels like a worse version of World of Warships”.
2. Alone in the Dark
Disappointment is what people are saying about Alone in the Dark, a remake of the classic original game by THQ Nordic. Receiving many criticisms, Alone in the Dark made fans and critics extremely disappointed.
According to aggregate scores on Metacritic, Alone in the Dark only received an average score of 64/100. This is an extremely bad achievement, especially for a highly anticipated game like Alone in the Dark.
Evaluating THQ Nordic's horror game, a writer on GameSpot commented: “With the brain hacking plot and the complexity of the puzzles, in some ways, the remake of Alone in the Dark is faithful. with the original version. However, the small bright spots cannot cover up too many existing shortcomings. The game has a very bad action system, errors everywhere, making players feel frustrated.
This isn't the first revival attempt at Alone in the Dark and it probably won't be the last, but it's not enough of an effort to revive one of the greatest horror games of all time.” .
3. Dragon's Dogma 2
Saying Dragon's Dogma 2 is a flop is probably not quite right. Because the quality and content of the game are highly appreciated, from critics and gamers alike. However, saying Dragon's Dogma 2 is a disappointing game is not wrong at all.
A few days after its release, Dragon's Dogma 2 is being severely criticized on gamer forums. The game's rating on Steam dropped from over 85% to only 45%, an extremely bad number.
Not because the game is not good, nor because of problems related to game or server errors, it's all because of the excessive “pickpocketing” policy that Capcom is applying to Dragon's Dogma 2. Just 3 days later Upon launch, the Japanese game publisher released a total of 21 expansion packs (DLC) with a total price of up to 975,000 VND (nearly the same price as the original game). These Microtransactions directly affect the player's game experience, causing a serious imbalance between those who deposit and those who do not deposit.
