14 Most BROKEN Video Games Of The Decade

2. Mass Effect Andromeda

A rare case of a broken EA published game not entirely being their fault, as it turned out after a revealing Kotaku exposé, that Andromeda's issues came almost entirely from a lack of planning, and warring internal studios at Bioware.

Still, we're talking about the version of the game you got to play, and Mass Effect's grand return - after the already despised Mass Effect 3 - ended up burying the IP for good.

Seriously, EA declared the franchise "on ice" after ME:A's terrible reception, and it was for good reason.

Besides some fairly enjoyable combat, not a single necessary part of the Mass Effect formula held together. Facial animations were laughably unfinished, animation in general was robotic and distracting, and every emotional or story-based cutscene fell flat on its face into the uncanny valley.

Bioware would continue to patch Andromeda across its following launch months, but the end result was cancelling the game's season pass content and abandoning everything for... well, Anthem.

Good going, guys.
