11 Most Disappointing Video Games Of 2016

4. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Dammit, Square Enix, all you had to do was not meddle in your developer's affairs.

Sadly, in an age where microtransactions are king, they - according to an inside source who came clean with Jim Sterling - forced the devs to implement a system that totally broke the progression of the game only weeks before launch. No longer did you need to play through to unlock Adam Jensen's full roster of abilities, instead you could just pay for them, and the money-grubbing didn't stop there.

Integral DLC was gutted and held back as paid content, resulting in a story that felt incredibly haphazard and badly paced, ending abruptly right when it felt like things were ramping up.

Sadly, despite the Deus Ex name being close to gaming royalty and 2011's Human Revolution being an outstanding RPG, you'd struggle to find someone who even knew Mankind Divided released this year, let alone recommend it.
