14 Worst Video Games Of 2016

10. Pokémon GO (July-November)

Oh, Niantic, how you had and lost it all - within the course of a few months.

... and then got it back again, but nobody cared anymore.

Yes, if you download Pokémon GO right now, you'll get an up to date version with daily bonuses, better spawn rates, a working tracking feature that gives you a good indication of where to go - there are even a handful of baby Pokémon from Generation 2 tucked away inside the various eggs you'll pick up.

It's the version that reminded me why I included it on the 'Best Of 2016' list in the first place - alongside acknowledging its cultural impact, of course - but back just after launch... that was a heartbreaking time.

'PoGo' as it became known, released with many a server hiccup, but then - as a response to various websites helping players locate the Pokémon themselves - developers Niantic straight-up removed the unreliable 'Tracker' functionality altogether, rendering the game useless.

It would remain this way for months, slowly seeing the multi million-strong playerbase dwindle and die off, before finally restoring said features in November, to what felt like a few bedraggled fans slow-clapping in the distance.
