10 Awesome Multiplayer Video Games Nobody Played

Werewolves Within was one of the first great multiplayer games for VR platforms, but like almost all online VR games, it was always going to struggle with one thing - maintaining a player-base.

Even so, the first few months of the game's life were extremely promising, delivering up a VR version of the classic social deduction game that benefitted enormously from VR's social features - namely in-built microphones.

And though a passionate player-base sustained in those early months thanks to cross-play support between PSVR and PC VR platforms, players eventually discovered a game-breaking exploit which allowed knowing villagers and werewolves alike to manipulate the game's outcome in their favour.

And so, many frustrated players stepped away from the game while waiting for Ubisoft to deliver a patch. However, it ultimately took several months for them to do so, by which point most had moved onto other games and simply never returned.

Today, Werewolves Within is effectively a desolate wasteland where finding players even through exterior matchmaking sites is now extremely difficult.

It's a depressing fate for a game which was a formative VR experience for so many people, and one of the most ludicrously entertaining multiplayer games of the entire generation.
