14 Worst Video Games Of 2016

11. Mirror's Edge: Catalyst

You can read a full breakdown of Mirror's Edge Catalyst's various failings over here, but sufficed to say it didn't focus anywhere near enough on the parts of the original that worked, instead forcing you into a number of clumsy melee encounters that eventually roadblocked the good stuff.

Because when it's good, it's great. The sheer rush of wind and blurred colour that zips past you as Faith soars through the City of Glass is truly iconic, but the repetitive side-missions, basic story and terrible final boss only serve to cripple it every time it's about to break into a sprint.

For some reason, EA barely promoted Catalyst at time of launch, and I'd be surprised if anyone outside of its established cult fanbase even knew it was out. It felt more like they were ticking the box marked "Give one of our fanbases what they want", but with the bare minimum of effort, resulting in some admittedly slick graphics, but nothing under the hood.
