10 Most Disappointing Video Games Of 2021
3. Destruction Allstars
It's been a while since Sony missed with a big console exclusive. The likes of The Last of Us Part 2 and Ghost of Tsushima ended the PS4 generation in style, while early PS5 titles like Demons Souls and Spider-Man: Miles Morales managed to completely avoid the launch title curse.
Sadly, Destruction Allstars wasn't so lucky.
Initially set to drop alongside Sony's new machine, a last-minute delay pushed the multiplayer title to February 2021, where it launched as part of that month's PS Plus lineup. Even being part of that service didn't help it avoid a critical drubbing though, as it dropped to tepid reviews and a player base that quickly evaporated.
Specialising in a brand of OTT, colourful vehicular combat, Destruction Allstars felt like a shell of a game, lacking the volume of content needed to make a live service title like this survive beyond the opening weekend.
Had Sony originally stuck to its guns and sold this thing for $70, the response would have been much harsher.
