20 Recent Video Games EVERYONE Knew Would Suck

15. Drag X Drive

Drag X Drive is definitely a game that most folk wanted to like, given that the multiplayer wheelchair basketball title offered some welcome representation for disabilities in sports.

But it was tough to mask the disappointment surrounding its unveiling, many calling out the drab art direction and tech demo feel of the gameplay.

Basically, it looked like the Switch 2 had another Arms on its hands here - a potential-rich game that just fell way short of the mark. 

That Nintendo quietly dumped the game on their eShop for a pittance didn't help that perception, either.

And ultimately Drag X Drive is a generic-looking sports game whose mouse-driven control scheme is more exhausting than enjoyable.

Beyond that, the motion controls just aren't responsive enough and it's also brutally lacking in content, even accepting the low price.

Drag X Drive is a well-intentioned outing that few are going to actually hate, but considering the obvious potential here to serve as a stellar show-piece for the Switch 2's mouse mode, it instead feels like a caution against it.
