10 Biggest Video Game Botches Of 2021

10. DOOM 3: VR Edition

Valve's Half-Life: Alyx changed the landscape for VR shooters in 2020 with its smooth gameplay and striking visuals, though that raise in standards did end up contributing to the lukewarm reception of Bethesda's port of Doom 3 to PSVR.

After releasing earlier this year, Doom 3's VR port received criticism for its dated visuals and an arcadey-feeling corridor-shooting formula that doesn't lend itself well to the platform. However, what really stood out as the major issue for the title was the game's movement, which was painfully slow and didn't allow players to dodge projectiles and enemies as well as in its older editions on consoles and PC.

Doom 3 is a classic title, and all of its scares and storylines are still present in the VR edition, so to that end the game isn't nearly as botched as others on this list. Fans can still enjoy playing Doom 3 in an all-new way, however, for those that aren't hardcore fans of the series, the release of the game this year came in as a noticeable drop-down in quality from what most were expecting.
