10 Recent Video Games Sent Out To Die

3. Cyberpunk 2077

This February, owners of Cyberpunk 2077 were relieved to learn a colossal patch had been introduced to CD Projekt's most infamous game, remedying the myriad of glitches it has suffered since launch day.

But at the same time, gamers couldn't help asking, "Why weren't these issues resolved before it debuted back in December 2020?" CD Projekt hyped this game beyond measure for nearly a decade and slapped Keanu Reeves' breathtaking mug on all merchandise, assuring us Cyberpunk would be a gamechanger.

Instead, we were left with a dumpster fire with more bugs than Marvel's The Avengers (which is a pretty astounding achievement for all the wrong reasons).

Even though none of the ports were stellar, the PS4 version was so heinous, Sony removed it from the Playstation Now store, and only re-released it after installing a 50GB patch. (When a patch is ten times bigger than most modern games, you know the developers royally screwed up.)

Even though the developers rectified the issues revolving around... everything, it feels too little too late since Cyberpunk 2077 should've never been released this unfinished in the first place.
