10 Video Game Franchises We Really Don't Need More Of

9. Deus Ex

Assassins Creed Origins
Eidos

Strictly speaking, the Deus Ex series now comprises six games: four console titles and two mobile tie ins that were... well bloody awful money spinners actually. Initially, we were treated to a classy PC, Mac and PS2 console exclusive title that thrust us into the near future with a distinct sense of real possibility - onto a winner or what!?

Subsequently, we were gifted Invisible War which won over the critics but struggled to secure the level of mass acclaim the first title achieved. Eidos Interactive could've called it a day at this point but there's always an audience waiting for a follow up to a game that sold 1.2 million copies!

Thus, Human Revolution - the prequel the world needed. Sumptuously rendered, sublime storytelling and an exceptional way to round off the series as a trilogy. Except it didn't end there and Mankind Divided threw up so many questions from the previous title, was irksomely short and left way too many questions unanswered.

Time to put this one to bed methinks; one game too late unfortunately.
