10 Video Games You Can Never Finish

2. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Traps Players In An Endless Death Tunnel

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is often cited as one of the greatest games in the series, and though the stealth-action franchise has a history of shipping entries riddled with bugs, perhaps none of them proved quite so fatal to the core experience as Brotherhood's looping tunnels of death.

No, not even those grotesque, inside-out character models in Assassin's Creed: Unity.

When venturing through Brotherhood's tunnels, which are used for fast-travel, some players would desynchronise almost immediately after arriving at their destination, trapping the player in a loop of fast-travel and desync until they turned the damn game off.

The glitch required players to start the game from the very beginning, sadly, and though Ubisoft did deliver a timely patch to fix the issue, it unfortunately did nothing to repair affected save files. Boo.
