10 Biggest Video Game Bombs Of 2018
3. Overkill's The Walking Dead
The fact that Starbreeze might be going out of business because of this game is definitely indicative of a bomb.
Or in the words of Starbreeze, the sales of Overkill's The Walking Dead are "disappointing".
That's really a shame too because both the first and second Payday are really great games with a lot of love put into them.
Overkill's The Walking Dead is depressing because it actually holds a lot of this potential. A game that plays similarly to Left 4 Dead whilst also introducing new mechanics and objectives is definitely a good idea.
The problem comes from despite having some good ideas, Overkill's The Walking Dead is just pretty boring.
A lot of the time you find yourself repeating the same objectives over and over again, all the while facing dumb enemies and using some really clunky melee combat. Zombies are more annoying that anything else and there's nothing to set them apart from one another.
It might have been possible for this one to get better over time, but with a dwindling player count that's looking less and less likely.
