8 Terrible Video Games Made By Amazing Developers

Making their name with the original Dead Island, Techland have grown into one of the most interesting developers currently in the business.

Still, they've only recently found a franchise that's been a total success in Dying Light, and before they became preoccupied with zombies they were in charge of steering the flagging Call of Juarez series back to the right track.

Unfortunately, Ubisoft didn't think the Wild West setting was doing the games any favours, and got the developers to transform the Western title into a fully-fledged modern FPS.

The end result was just as dreadful as everyone expected. The story focused on ugly characters doing ugly things in ugly levels, making for an experience that seemingly detested any form of fun.
