10 MORE Video Games Clearly Released Unfinished

10. Balan Wonderworld

If you travelled back in time to 2010 and showed someone a gameplay clip from Balan Wonderland, they'd probably wonder why this five-year-old game they've never heard of has such terrible graphics. It's important to stress that not only was this game released in 2021, but it actually runs on Unreal Engine 4. That's the same engine that was used to make Final Fantasy VII Remake, Returnal, and Days Gone.

To add further insult to injury, the game is poorly optimised on certain systems. The framerate on the Switch port averages out somewhere between 20 to 15 frames per second.

There are also multiple platforming sections that can be completely skipped because the developers forgot to add collision to certain areas, allowing you to bypass puzzles and entire segments of the game. At what point is a bug no longer a bug, and instead just lazy programming?

Most amusing is that the demo for the game, released two months before the game actually came out, featured all of the same problems - which means Square Enix considered the game too broken to even bother fixing, but apparently not broken enough that they wouldn't sell it to you for full price on release.
