10 Broken Video Games Finally Ready To Play
2020's big games have been delayed, but you can finally play these gems now they're fixed.
After years of anticipation, nothing is more satisfying than buying that game you've been waiting for. In some cases, however, the release of a game isn’t as much a celebration, but a funeral. That celebratory feeling of joy quickly turns into the sour face of disappointment as you’ll probably never touch the title again as it was only good for creating bad memories.
Nothing is worse than falling through the world, not being able to complete objectives due to a bug or server issues that can make a game unplayable. The barrage of bad reviews and complaints that follow can be best described as soul-crushing for the developers, but it also serves up an opportunity to fix these bugs, glitches, and in some cases, the entire game. If they continue to work on their title after release maybe one day they can turn it around and give their passion project a second life.
Today, it's these devs who managed to fix the broken parts of their respective games that are in the spotlight. Everything from broken servers to a complete overhaul of the systems, there are many ways a game can be broken, but for these ten a rocky release paved the way to eventual glory.
10. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Let's start this list off with one of the more recent games that released with some problems, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
The team at Respawn Entertainment delivered a stellar game according to critics, although there were some complaints about bugs and glitches. There were a plethora of minor bugs that could easily spoil some of the fun when added together, like bad rope swinging and occasionally falling through the floor.
Luckily, Respawn quickly put out a few patches that fixed most of the issues. The controls got tighter, which makes the challenging combat even better, bugs got fixed that allow you to explore the game better without breaking it and the Photo Mode can’t be exploited any longer.
It’s safe to say that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order only got better post-launch, so if you haven’t played it yet now is the time to do so.
