7 Most Disappointing Video Games Of 2021 (So Far)

7. Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4 & Xbox One)

This is almost an honourable mention as obviously Cyberpunk 2077 came out in 2020... but then again, did it?

The PC version certainly released and what you could play on Series X or PS5 was something I sank over 100 hours into, but for PS4 and Xbox One? Well, they were told to wait until 2021 for things to get a whole lot more stable.

With these versions of the game by far the worst affected, CDPR quickly started putting together hotfixes and longform patches. Honestly though, these are iterations of the game that still struggle to hold a stable frame rate or avoid crashes. There are endless patch notes for smaller issues that have been tightened up, but it's clear the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Cyberpunk should've either been cancelled, or made into notably different editions of the game - almost like how Ubisoft rolled out completely different iterations of Splinter Cell: Double Agent when making the leap between Xbox and Xbox 360.

Regardless, CDPR had to draw a line under these versions of the game eventually, and with them saying THEY think what players have is "satisfactory", it's clear this is as good as it's going to get.
