7 – Quantum Break
Quantum Break is not a bad game by any means, however, for a game that was promised to break boundaries, it fell flat. Aesthetically, the game is fantastic, and while the mechanics were good, they became repetitive quickly. One of the biggest problems is the show that accompanies the game, the very one that was supposed to set the game apart from others in its genre. The 4 episode show doesn’t add much to the game that a few extra cut scenes and a longer story couldn’t fix. Instead of adding the show, they should’ve dived deeper into the story and made it a bit longer.
6 – Mirror’s Edge Catalyst
Mirror’s Edge Catalyst was a highly anticipated sequel that failed to meet fans expectations. The hope was that Mirror’s Edge Catalyst would build upon the original game, making the good ideas better, and fixing the mistakes, however, it honestly ended up being an inferior title that not only repeated the mistakes of the original game but also added more. After receiving an open-world overhaul, the game felt uninspired, creating boredom that crept in shortly after beginning. On top of these problems, the marketing was an absolute disaster. So much so that many weren’t even aware that it had launched! Of course, without being given the time of day, the launch sales were not exactly reassuring for EA.
5 –  Tom Clancy’s The Division
This, like a few others on this list, became repetitive and boring after the first few hours of the game. The Division is a great game, offering players a good mix between a tactical shooter and an MMORPG, however after completing the campaign this game doesn’t offer much. The multiplayer portion of the game just doesn’t offer the same kind of fun and long term playability as Call of Duty, Battlefield or Destiny. While Ubisoft tried to create something different with the Dark Zone, it just failed to take off, leaving more players frustrated with the risk-reward template offered. While The Division had the potential to become hugely popular in the long term, the majority of players stopped playing after just 3 months.
4 – Homefront: The Revolution
Many fans of the original Homefront game were expecting a more exciting sequel in Homefront: The Revolution. Unfortunately, it was unable to live up to the hype. Of course, when the development is shuffled from company to company, it becomes difficult to execute game ideas. After Crytek UK took the game over following the closure of THQ, the game was sold to Koch Media and Deep Silver. What was anticipated to be an exciting game ended up being just as lackluster as the first game. Homefront: The Revolution received poor review scores which were no surprise considering the amount of performance issues it had upon release. Ultimately, after the hype surrounding the game, it just failed to live up to the expectations of gamers everywhere.
