10 Video Games That Got EVERYTHING Wrong

10. Babylon's Fall

How bad could an action-RPG from PlatinumGames really be? The answer: pretty bad.

Babylon's Fall was released back in March with a suspicious lack of fanfare, after a marketing campaign which failed to suggest the game would be anything more than a generic, soulless, visually unappealing entry into the genre.

And that's precisely what Babylon's Fall is - an always-online live-service game that feels like a parody of it, so lacking in personality it is.

It doesn't look good, the combat isn't fun or intuitive, and even as a co-op experience it doesn't really work, given that the Steam player count fell to just one player within two months of its release.

It feels less like a typical full-effort PlatinumGames title than something rushed to market at the behest of publisher Square Enix, in a ham-handed attempt to cash-in on the live-service boom.

Needless to say, Babylon's Fall fails in every way that a game of this type can, and far from the enduring project that was intended, it's already evaporated from the minds of most.
