13 Reasons 2019's Biggest Video Games Might Suck

1. The Community Could Die Out Quickly - Dreams

Why It Might Suck: Back when Media Molecule's ambitious sandbox adventure game was still due out this year, we predicted that it could end up being 2018's No Man's Sky.

A year later, Dreams has slid to 2019, and while the extensive gameplay footage has sold many on the depth of its creativity, there is one further hurdle: the community.

Dreams is absolutely a game that will live and die on the enthusiasm of its fans, because it's players who will create the most mind-bogglingly imaginative worlds for others to explore.

While the early days of Dreams are sure to be flooded with glorious creations, it's also easy to imagine the novelty wearing off quickly, especially once players discover the technical limitations.

While the user-created maps will presumably remain persistently uploaded for future players to explore, Dreams could potentially become a years-long service if the user-base holds firm. It's just a shame that, as history dictates, niche games of this kind tend to suffer a violent population shrinkage after the initial honeymoon period.

Why It Might Not: It's not unheard of for online gaming communities to thrive far longer than anyone would reasonably expect, even if these examples are firm outliers.

For instance, Halo 2 still had people playing until 2010, some six years after its initial release, and one can only hope that Dreams resonates deeply enough with players to keep them coming back for years.

Fingers are most certainly crossed for this one.
