14 Most Disappointing Video Games Of 2017 (So Far)

6. Starblood Arena

Starblood Arena was hyped as one of PSVR's must-own games, and its light-hearted cockpit combat was no doubt extremely entertaining...if you played it the week it came out.

As is a problem with many VR games, Starblood's player-base fast-dwindled as they left to play other games, and it didn't help at all that it was a PSVR exclusive, meaning there was no cross-play potential with Oculus Rift and HTC Vive players.

While Starblood's core gameplay is rock solid, it's not much fun playing against bots, and attempting to find a match with human players is a pretty fruitless endeavour, even on weekends.

What truly could have been PSVR's Overwatch is instead hampered by its barren social wasteland, which serves as a depressing reminder of VR's practical limitations.
