7. Morrowind
Bethesda SoftworksMorrowind is still considered by many to be the greatest entry in the Elder Scrolls franchise. With a weird, richly detailed world, and less hand-holding than is now common in AAA releases, Morrowind is widely considered to be a quintessential RPG experience. It's a shame then, that the combat pretty much sucks. The Elder Scrolls isn't a series known for having a daring, complex combat system, but Oblivion and Skyrim were vast improvements over Morrowind. The definition of clunky, Morrowind's combat was unsatisfying and inconsistent, particularly when using melee weapons. This was made even worse by the frequent surprise attacks from some particularly annoying monsters. We're not naming any names, but if you played the game then you know the terror of seeing a certain winged shadow appear in front of you... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKDkf_IB_i8
