10 Most Disappointing Video Games Of The GENERATION

8. Mass Effect Andromeda

Back to Bioware, as again it was hard to truly believe Andromeda was going to be anything remarkable after the promising Shadow Realms was cancelled, and the devs seemed allergic to showing anything off.

We'd later find this was down to Andromeda practically being on fire during its entire development; the initial No Man's Sky-style project goal of a larger interactive galaxy being slowly sliced to pieces until it resembled what we got.

That first glimpse of gameplay came from the The Game Awards 2016, and immediately the reality set in that this needed WAY more time in the oven. Facial animations were hilariously bad, but that was nothing compared to the pre-launch "exclusive access" window of Andromeda's first 10 hours, where all hell broke loose.

The gifs were everywhere, but this was just the tip of the iceberg. Bioware's Montreal studio should be commended for getting the game shipped, but it was clear Andromeda was a product of corporate necessity; capitalising on various deluxe editions promising content that never came, and a title pushed out the door with multiplayer microtransactions prioritised, to cash in no matter what.
