The legacy of this beloved franchise came to a screeching halt, before nose-diving into the gutter thanks to this unplayably buggy fifth instalment.

Initially showing promise and signalling a return to the classic earlier titles seen on the PS1 and PS2, in theory they had to do, was let you try to string together as many tricks as possible. Concerns grew as gameplay footage was revealed in summer 2015, presenting graphics that would have felt at home two generations ago, but nothing prepared gamers for the truly broken state that it arrived in - one where gravity simply refuses to work, and you found yourself catapulted off your board at every crucial moment.

Not even an 8GB patch, which exists as double the game's actual size, was able to amend these issues, and many of them still plague the game today.
