17. Recore's Disappointing Gameplay Reveal

Though its teaser trailer turned a lot of heads at last year's E3, the more extensive gameplay footage from Recore this year sadly didn't strike the same note.

The jumping and shooting animations in particular looked incredibly rough, like something you'd see in an early alpha rather than a game just 3 months away from release.

The graphics also weren't particularly impressive, and considering that this felt like an exciting new IP 12 months ago, it's a shame that the anticipation pretty much slid away after this totally underwhelming unveiling.

It looks like a game you'd maybe buy at the "indie price" (for want of a better term), but not at a full, boxed retail price point.
