15 Most Disappointing Video Games of the Generation (So Far)
15. Starfield
Starfield has been one of the most anticipated video games of the entire 21st century to date, with Bethesda lending their peerlessly immersive RPG stylings to an epic sci-fi universe.
Director Todd Howard promised players "Skyrim in space," and while Starfield released to solid reviews from critics, the player response was decidedly more downbeat.
For many, Starfield simply lacked much of a personality or clear creative vision at all. This was a generic, often boring open world sci-fi RPG with a stupefyingly forgettable story, unremarkable characters, strangely empty world, and repetitious gameplay.
Is Starfield a bad game? No, but it fell far, far short of the epochal title Bethesda had led players to get excited for.
This was instead a dead ordinary space RPG that's ironically best remembered for how utterly flavourless and, well, forgettable it is.
Needless to say, Bethesda will need to knock The Elder Scrolls VI way out of the park to redeem this disappointment.
