10 Video Games You Should Play (Even Though They Suck)

10. Darkened Skye

Some games don't hide the fact they exist solely to sell a product. Cool Spot promoted 7Up. King Games obviously wants you to dine at Burger King. And there are some who suspect PepsiMan was made to sell some sort of soft drink.

But there are few video games which promoted their product worse than Darkened Skye. In this medieval fantasy, you play as a sorceress, who must destroy Lord Necroth to bring peace to the land and reunite with her mother.

Based on that premise, you wouldn't think Darkened Skye came to be to promote Skittles. Seriously, you would never consider this since it's NEVER mentioned in the advertisements! Based on the cover art or the trailer, you'd assume Darkened Skye was a Dungeons & Dragons clone, not a candy commercial.

Even though Darkened Skye was criticised for its forced humour and mundane gameplay, it's worth playing, just to see how jarring the product placement is. Imagine if you had to keep replenishing your health in Elden Ring with Twix bars. Imagine if Skyrim's final boss was The Milky Bar Kid. That's how hilarious it is to watch the characters of Darkened Skye talk about Skittles with a straight face.
