10 Levels Everybody HATED From Recent Video Games
10. The Sewers - Stray
There's absolutely no denying that Stray is one of the biggest fan favourite games of the year - an incredibly accessible adventure in which players control an adorable stray cat in a walled, dystopian cybercity.
But the game's eighth level, "The Sewers", is a bit of a damp squib in an otherwise riveting journey.
Though moody and atmospheric to a point, it's hampered by the irritation of having to repeatedly deal with massive swarms of Zurks - a fleet of grotesque, mutated bug-like creatures which can make short work of you if you let them.
You're required to use your ultra-violet light weapon to explode the Zurks, or otherwise make a mad dash away from them.
If hardly brutally difficult, it's nevertheless the least-chill area of the game, and the part which surely gave casual players the most trouble.
In tandem with the relatively repetitive environments, this made the sewers a staid 20-minute lull in an otherwise splendid experience.
