10 Unplayable Video Games That Were Released Despite Being Broken

Released in 2014, Assassin’s Creed: Unity is the eighth instalment in the series, and possibly the most broken entry in the entire franchise. In the game, players take control of Arno Dorian – an assassin of the brotherhood in Paris during the French Revolution – who must uncover the location of a mysterious weapon, The Sword of Eden. In terms of story and setting, the game is unrivalled by previous instalments. Unfortunately, most players found themselves unable to enjoy either one, what with the game being a broken mess upon release.

Assassin’s Creed: Unity was a travesty, especially on PC. For one thing, characters would constantly disappear, leaving only their eyeballs and mouths behind, their skin seemingly vanished into another realm of consciousness. The framerate would also fluctuate unpredictably, the entire game riddled with technical issues and performance problems. In fact, the whole thing became so bad that Ubisoft were forced to issue an official apology, which was more to do with the fact that their stock had dropped significantly since the release of the game.
