10 Divisive Video Games That Are Secretly The Best Entry

6. Rainbow Six Siege

Back when it first dropped in 2015, Rainbow Six: Siege was a shell of its expected self.

An Angela Bassett-fronted single player boiled down to a glorified tutorial for multiplayer, and whilst you could see something great was at the core, microtransactions and a lack of levels and characters dragged the whole production down.

Considering Siege was following on from the immaculate Vegas games, the common perception was that Ubisoft had messed things up yet again, and many moved on.

Thankfully, the following years saw massive overhauls to the game's monetary elements, dialling back microtransactions, introducing various "Starter" versions so you could play with a reduced roster, and giving the game some of the most satisfyingly intense maps in FPS history.

With a better progression system, so many approaches to a given scenario, a blink-and-you're-dead allocation of health and the feeling that the devs were actually being given the time they needed, Siege has now amassed a staggering 50 million players, and remains one of the most played games in the world.
