10 Most Disappointing Video Games Of 2022 (So Far)

10. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

There have been so many games that have had reportedly nightmarish development process during the COVID pandemic. Already difficult working conditions in some cases haven't been helped by remote working leading to longer time spent on a project than intended, and as such it should be commended that these games released at all, thanks to the hard work of quality developers. That said, the extra time spent getting a game over the finish line hasn't always resulted in masterpiece.

Case in point: Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

Now this is probably the one game on the list that's difficult to get too worked up about. The latest Lego Star Wars is a fine game. It is ok. It is inoffensive. It is a video game.

There's ambition at the heart of it. Adapting nine movies with hundreds of characters takes skill to not crumble under the pressure, and the dedication to the variety of gameplay scenarios on display is to be applauded.

It's just that this should be the ultimate Star Wars package, yet it's missing the magic found in the earlier Lego games. There's a lot to do here, but little drive for players to feel motivated to engage with much of it.

If it's your first Lego game, it'll no doubt be a blast. For longtime fans though, it's just another to add to the pile.
