8 Video Games That IMMEDIATELY Gave You Buyer's Remorse

Though WWE 2K19 marked a return to form for the wildly uneven wrestling game franchise, 2K Games obliterated player goodwill the very next year with the utterly shambolic WWE 2K20.

2K20 was the first game in the series to be developed solely by Visual Concepts, whose acclaimed work on a multitude of sports titles for 2K suggested a promising changing of the guard.

But anyone who bought the game upon launch was surely blindsided by a product that was scarcely fit to be released. Even accepting the usual gameplay jank and bugginess that comes with any WWE 2K game, 2K20 was a flaming dumpster fire of biblical proportions.

The glitches were abundant - and horrifying - enough to make the game near-unplayable at times, the graphics fell far short of the mark, the MyCareer story was awful, the controls sucked, and if you listened closely enough you could practically hear the dated game engine straining under its own weight.

It proved to be a dire enough situation that even the refund-averse Sony allowed understandably pissed-off players to get their money back, in turn soothing that burning buyer's remorse.

The fallout also prompted WWE to pump the brakes on the planned WWE 2K21 and take an extra year developing WWE 2K22.

While far from perfect, 2K22 was at least fit for its purpose and a major improvement over its absolute clownshow of a predecessor.
